Box of artillery emblems

Overhead special characters in modern everyday life is not quite correctly called the logos, in the form of two crossed guns, were introduced for ensigns and officers of the army field artillery in March of 1909 Interestingly, the official description of signs for the ensigns appeared only in 1911; as for the officers ' badges, they were purchased by officers at their own expense and therefore the official description for them were not introduced. The difference of marks awarded to ensigns from officer was to be no gold. In practice, the ensigns usually wore the same gilded signs, and officers. The signs were issued by various small businesses, so the portrayal of characters and their sizes differed.
