Always please! ))

The inscriptions have a large number of grammatical errors. It is immediately evident that the one who did this deeal had a very vague idea of both the Russian language and the Civil War in Russia.



1. For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland!

It is written with grammatical errors. In addition, this slogan is not typical for the white armies. The vast majority of whites were not monarchists. This slogan is more suitable for the Imperial Army.

2. Ranged battery

It is written with glaring grammatical errors. I even find it difficult to understand the meaning of this inscription. Probably meaning heavy artillery battery train.

3. Knight.

It's a good name for an armored train. But the choice of a font surprises me - at that time such fonts were not applied.

4. Prince Suvorov.

A good name for an armored train. Suvorov - the legendary Russian military commander of the 18th century, Generalissimo.

Two-headed eagles quite suitable. But the cockades are not relevant to the Russian army - in the Russian army in the center should be a white circle.




1. and 5. The RSFSR.

This abbreviation is the name of Soviet Russia. The inscription No.1 has the wrong font.

2. Victory or death

Unfortunately, the word "or" is written in an unknown language. The meaning of the slogan can only be guessed.

3. Destruction oncoming revolution

Just a set of words.

4. Death to parasites

A suitable slogan. But not a suitable font.

6. Spartacus

A suitable slogan. But not a suitable font.

7. Death to the Whites

Can be used. But I've never met such an inscription. Rather, the inscription would have to be: "The death of the bourgeoisie!"

Thank you Cuprum  :)

For the grammatical errors , we could imagine that the painters are somewhat illiterate !

It's possible in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century !

Thanks for all Cuprum !
