Tsarist Russia Military Button – P. Levshtein Riga, UNC

Tsarist Russia Military Button – P. Levshtein Riga, UNC This authentic Tsarist Russian military button is a finely preserved 19th-century artifact manufactured by the well-known Riga workshop P. Levshtein (П. Левштейн). Levshtein was among the most respected button makers supplying the Imperial Russian Army, producing high-quality silvered and brass uniform fittings for both officers and enlisted personnel. This example stands out for its excellent craftsmanship and its exceptionally well-preserved UNC condition, making it highly desirable for collectors of Russian militaria. The obverse features the Imperial double-headed eagle, crowned and holding regalia—an unmistakable emblem of the Romanov dynasty. Despite its age, the details of the eagle, shield, feathers, and crown remain crisp and sharp. The surface retains much of its silvering, with minimal wear, consistent with an unissued or carefully stored piece. The reverse bears the maker’s hallmark “П. ЛЕВШТЕИНЪ – РИГА”, confirming the button’s origin at Levshtein’s Riga factory. Maker-marked Imperial buttons from Riga are increasingly rare, especially those preserved this well. Levshtein’s products are highly regarded among specialists due to their quality and their important role in the supply network of the Russian Empire’s military.
