Society for Universal Assistance to War-affected Soldiers and their Families.jpg


The Society for Universal Assistance to War-affected Soldiers and their Families was founded in 1881 and was under the patronage Emperor. The purpose of the society was to provide material support to the wounded soldiers, to promote their complete recovery and recovery and to help them to obtain pensions, benefits and awards due to them.
On May 5, 1913, Nicholas II established a special badge for the members of the Society. The badge had two classes: 1st class in gold and 2nd class in silver. 1st class badges were issued for special exceptional services to the Society (with the collection of only the pledge value of the badge). 2nd class badges were issued to persons who made at least 100 rubles donation to the Society (the cost of the badge was not included in the amount of the contribution). The badge was accompanied by a diploma certifying the right to wear the badge. Society granted the exclusive right for manufacturing of the badges to the Fabergé firm. The cost of the 1st class badge was 65 rubles and 2nd class badges costed 15 rubles. Since not all members of the Society could afford to pay that kind of money for their badges the Fabergé firm made badges from copper with gilding and silvering at a price of 1 ruble.
