Badge of an Official of the Order of St. Stanislaus

For officials of the Order of St. Stanislaus (master of ceremonies, secretary and two heralds) the statute of May 28, 1839 established an official badge in the form of a reduced cross of this order of the 3rd class, circled around two gold hoops with the saint's monograms between them. The master of ceremonies wore this badge around his neck on the ribbon of the 2nd class of the order and the secretary and heralds in the buttonhole on the ribbon of the 3rd class of the order.

/Для официалов ордена Святого Станислава (церемониймейстера, секретаря и двух герольдов) статутом 1839 г. устанавливался официальский знак в виде уменьшенного креста этого ордена 3-й степени, обведенного вокруг двумя золотыми обручами с вензелями святого между ними. Церемониймейстер носил этот знак на шее на ленте 2-й степени ордена, а секретарь и герольды - в петлице на ленте 3-й степени ордена./​

"Expert" Levin likes this badge and won't mind if you invest all your savings in it. Don't be such a fraidy; it's just a harmless certified fake.
