It was blessed by Metropolitan of St Petersburg and Ladoga. The sign is a three-level composition. A porcelain symbol of the regiment is on the front face of the pyramid. Bronze boards with description of the regiment and the battle logbook are on the side faces. A bronze board with a sculptured relief illustrating the triumphant entry of the regiment to Paris in 1814 is on the back side. An emblem of the Russian Army made of gold plated porcelain is on the central square face.
