"For Faith and Loyalty" an crowned black double-headed eagle bearing a St. Andrew's Cross with St. Andrew crucified upon it; on the arms of the saltire were the Latin letters 'SAPR' ('St. Andrew, Patron of Russia') The Tsarina wore it as a pendant on the collar above.

Order of Saint Andrew the First Called The Order of Andrew (Russian: ?????? ??????? ?????? ????????????? / "Order Swjatogo Andreja Pervoswannogo, Order of St. Andrew the First Called") was founded by Tsar Peter I on December 10, 1698 as a distinction and was previously the highest Russian order in the Turkish War called the blue ribbon. It was later awarded for other merits.

At the same time it is the house order of the Romanov dynasty and again the highest Russian state order since 1998, but it was renewed on December 27, 1988 with the same name but different insignia by the Russian Orthodox Church on the occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the Christianization of the country. Consequently, there are three orders of that name today. Hall of the Order of St. Andrew in the Great Kremlin Palace , a watercolor from 1849 exist.

The order had only one class and was only awarded to people of lieutenant general who had the Alexander Newski and the Order of the White Eagle, which they wore on their necks or in their buttonholes. Russian grand dukes were born knights of the order.

The decoration consists of a golden, black enameled, two-headed, crowned eagle with outspread wings. On the eagle is a dark blue St. Andrew's cross with St. Andrew in natural color with a golden band. The lapel shows only the double-headed eagle. On the corners of the cross is written S. A. P. R. (Sanctus Andreas, Patronus Russiae) in Latin letters.

The decoration is held by a crown to which the sky-blue ribbon or collar is attached. The eight-pointed silver star has a medallion, the imperial double-headed eagle, around which a snake winds; a blue circle with the inscription Za weru i wernost (For Faith and Faith) surrounds the medallion.

The collar to be worn at large celebrations has three parts: the first is a blue cross of St. Andrew with the letters SARP in a red and gold halo, the second is a blue, round medallion with the monogram PI (Petrus Primus), embedded in flags and topped by a crown, the third the two-headed tsar's eagle with the Saint George's shield on its chest.

For merit in the war, the order with crossed swords under the suspension (the crown) was awarded. The medal was carried from the right shoulder to the left hip, the star on the left breast. Grand Cross with Collane, 19th century

Today's insignia are identical to those of the tsarist times, but the double-headed eagle of the order is not enamelled black, but made entirely of gold.

The dress prescribed by Empress Anna I was a green velvet coat, lined with white and trimmed with silver, a velvet hat with red feathers. In addition, the knights wore a chain of three alternating links. The day of the order was November 30th. From March 1917, the Order of Andrew was no longer awarded to outsiders, but continued to exist as a house order of the dethroned Romanov dynasty.
