even 300 years of the Romanov dynasty, or the initials imperatorov.Do 19 th century bronze (silver-only for the highest spiritual dignity) from the beginning of the 19th almost all silver.
not redkost.stoimost not high.

I agree with mihailovoh, are not rare and the masterpieces of jewelry, this cross is not classified.

Clergyman,

suffered for the faith and the Church of Christ in Butovo.

This cross should be attributed to the temple in Butovo, tell all about it (the cross) and leave her there and ask forgiveness for it, but you do trade on a day such things.
"Excellent condition". Eto.Smely not good to you, Alexei Romanovich.

Almost every similar object is a similar story, repression was massive!

And Alexei Romanovich should I say to that: "Did you buy me, and give themselves to the temple, hee-hee-hee-hee!"

Of course, he was. Only no special protoiereyskih crosses nebylo.

The sequence of winning the clergy:
arhipastyrskoe blessing (not required);

Order of St.. Vladimir 4 tbsp. could be granted to the priest, not having Anna 2 tbsp. as a reward for 35 or more years of service.

It is now all the priests wear crosses, but before the revolution - the pectoral cross is a reward. The right to wear the pectoral cross of all the priests were given only in 1896. Awards to "pectoral cross," received virtually every priest.
