[QUOTE="April07, post: 3056646, member: 7302"]According to what I found, many regiments had special signs (tokens) to celebrate their 100-year anniversary. The 96 Omsk regimen was founded in 1797, so the dates 1797-1897 mark precisely this centenary. I can only suppose that the date next to the epaulets (23.5.1883) is the date when Ivanovsky was awarded to be Lieutenant. 1877-1878 are indeed the date of the Russian-Turkish war. The token I posted has this also inscribed: "For the excellence in the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878". By the way, the tokens I am finding from this regimen are all similar to the one I posted, so I think yours is quite rare. And they wore them on the uniform, like medals.[/QUOTE]
