Orders of St. Vladimir for the Battle of Waterloo https://asiamedals.info/threads/orders-of-st-vladimir-for-the-battle-of-waterloo.28211/

The term "Epoch of Napoleonic Wars" should not be taken literally /i.e. as period 1806-1815/. We use this term because of its popularity among collectors in describing of orders of St. Vladimir from the 1800s-1820s /or even 1800s-1830s/ period.
