Gift set: leather-bound book "The Code of Honor of a Russian officer" with an icon in a lacquered box

In the Russian Empire, the title "Russian officer" was not just a designation of professional or social affiliation. The title of "officer" meant belonging to a special caste of people for whom honor and dignity were more precious than life. They fought for honor, and they died for it. Russian Russian captain Valentin Kulchitsky wrote "Advice to a young officer" during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, which, in fact, became the code of honor of the Russian officer. The book also includes: "The Dueling Code" by V.Durasov's novel, equally fair for both civilians and military, and A.S. Pushkin's novel "Shot", as the most vivid illustration of both officer honor and dueling history. Because a duel is "the last argument for preserving honor."

The original gift set includes a leather-bound book "The Code of Honor of a Russian Officer" and an icon "St. George the Victorious", decorated in a lacquered box covered with piano lacquer and decorated with a gold coat of arms made of metal.

A gift edition in a handmade leather binding. Gold stamping, pancake, gilt-plated sawn-off. Lasse. The composite flyleafs are richly decorated with dubbing. The icon is made by electroplating with silvering of the surface, combined with a wooden base, a lace made of silk ribbon. The book is presented in an original gift box with gloves and a velvet pouch.
