Очень редкий Состояние лучше чем очень хорошее According to the archive sources (RGIA, f.468, opis 43, delo № 1015. LL.108–141) this piece № 384 was produced by Karl Blank, former workmaster of Karl Hahn, between 1912 and 1913 for 620 Roubles and issued unknown. The Imperial Cipher Decoration of the Ladies of Honour of the Imperial Court was introduced by Empress Catherine II “The Great" (1729–1796) in a year until now unpublished. It consists of the cipher of the empress surmounted by a stylized imperial crown. With the accession of Emperor Paul I Petrovich (1754–1801) in 1797 the cipher was changed from "EII" in "M" for Maria Fjodorovna (1759–1828), the new empress. In 1801, after the accession of Emperor Alexander I Pavlovich (1777–1825) the decoration showed the cipher "E" or "EA" for the new empress Elizabeth Alexejevna (1779–1826) combined with the cipher "M" for the dowager empress, a custom that was to be continued in the future. Therefore there exist in total 10 different editions of this badge. (See also: Tillander-Godenhielm, Ulla – The Russian Imperial Award System during the Reign of Nicolas II, 1894–1917. Helsinki 2005. p. 31– 45.) Согласно официальным архивным источникам (РГИА, фонд 468, опись 43, дело № 1015. ЛЛ.108–141) знак № 384 сделан Карлом Бланком, бывшим ювелиром Карла Гана, между 1912 и 1913 г стоимостью 620 рублей.
