The anchor on the epaulettes for the pupils of the Marine corps.

Bronze, gilding; stamping. The anchor on the epaulettes to the sailor shirts (blue and white) for pupils from the Marine corps, introduced in 1882 for the Midshipman 1st and 2nd mouth mouth and all non-commissioned officers and sergeants of the Marine corps. Lasted until 1914, when, in connection with the awarding body the patronage of the heir Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich was replaced by a similar anchor connected with the monogram of the heir. From the anchor worn on the epaulets of uniforms, jackets and coats were distinguished by its smaller size (the size of this instance is 17* 34 mm). Very rare.
