Grand Duke Piotr Nikolaevich was the son of Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolaevich the Elder and the grandson of Emperor Nicholas I.
Grand Duke Piotr Nikolaevich was born on 10 January 1864 and the blade appears to have been presented to him on his twentieth birthday. In 1884, he was also given the rank of Fligel-adjutant in the Imperial Suite.
