The patent mentions various events in Prince Sergei Danilovitch Kudashev's life including participation in the war against Napoleon, his professional career and decorations. It provides a description of the Kudashev coat of arms, mentioning "the Eastern sword" and the crescent of the moon and the star - probably in memory of the Kudashev Tartar origins.
