Similar wares in the form of officers' bows with eagle medallions are described in Zawistowski and Banaszkiewicz as bows for the Polish Legion, which did not enter the uniforms. Medallions alone without Russian bows of various eagle designs are also known.

Losses of varnish, traces of use, including two holes from attachment to the cap.
Preservation condition of the item good.
