Transcription: [double-headed eagle] Article GT-1530/3 Handsome frame of transparent green enamel with two oval apertures containing a photograph of Czarina Alexandra and one of the Czar, Nicholai II. Above the ovals is the double-headed eagle with wings outstretched. The crown between the heads is set with rubies and diamonds while a shield, set with the same stones, is on its breast. Underneath the photographs are three swags with rosettes and crescents in garland effect. At the top of the frame two griffins, facing each other with their paws resting on an urn, form a delightful balance to the whole. It is backed with an ivory panel, the handle and ring being of gold scroll. It was made by the court silversmith to Nicholai II, K. Hann, and is hallmarked with his full name beneath the double-headed eagle of Royal appointment; the number "88" denoting the Russian quality of silver; and the wreathed head of the government assay office. Since it was originally imported from Russia into France, it also bears the assay office device of that country. From the quarters of the Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna in the Alexander Palace, Tsarskoye Selo. Mrs. John L. Pratt November 9th, 1936
