By decree of His Imperial Majesty, from the Kursk Noble Deputies' Assembly, on the basis of Article 374, Volume IX of the Laws (edition of 1899), this certificate of nobility is issued to

Vladimir Vladimirovich Korobyin

under proper signature and seal, for presentation wherever required, certifying that he, Vladimir Vladimirovich Korobyin, as is evident from the noble documents submitted, is the son of the Collegiate Assessor Vladimir Vladimirovich Korobyin and his lawful wife Maria Feodorovna, née Princess Urusova (Urusov).

He was born in March 1891, on the 21st day of that month.

The prescribed heraldic fee has been paid.
