    Description

    Description The sign is made of silver-plated brass (the given sign was dug and the silvering peeled off). Signs of most pre-revolutionary railways today are very rare, and the South - Western railway. is no exception. Size 22 * ​​27 mm. (0.89 by 1.14)
    Historical reference At the beginning of the twentieth century. Employees of state-owned railways were given uniform signs for wearing caps on a ring, consisting of the state coat of arms (two-headed eagle) and a ribbon with the abbreviated name of the road, with crossed ax and anchor in the middle. The sign for employees of private railways was distinguished by the fact that instead of an eagle on it, there were coats of arms of cities that gave the name of the road or were its most important points. Employees who had class ranks, in addition to the road sign on a lane, wore a round cockade of a civilian standard on the top.
