A pair of shoulder straps of a sailor of the 5th Fleet EIV General-Admiral Alexey Alexandrovich crew

Cloth, paint. The shoulder straps and ciphers "A" under the crown have been preserved quite well. The patronage of the brother of Emperor Alexander III, Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, the last general-admiral of the Russian Fleet, was granted to the 5th naval crew on January 27, 1892.There is no exact data on whether this cipher was canceled due to the cancellation of crew numbers in 1912; it is generally believed that it could have been worn until the February Revolution. The 5th Fleet crew was quartered in Kronstadt. The lower time limit of the subject can be determined by the technique of the monogram (printing on a stencil with yellow paint), established in the Russian Navy since 1896. The shoulder straps of the 5th fleet crew are quite rare. Guarantee of authenticity.
