Russia Imperial hat badge
Added by Ion Postolache
General Description The two main elements of Russian Imperial symbols (the two-headed eagle and the mounted figure slaying the dragon) predate Peter the Great.
They date back to 1472, when Ivan III began using the double-headed eagle in his seal, which, along with the image of St. George slaying a dragon, have been common in the coat of arms since.
