Hello, on Sunday I was able to get a few more pieces from my South African friend. His father was in the South African Air Force during the Second World War and then in civil aviation in SA.
Hello,
the pieces with crown are usually twice as expensive, because much rarer. 4 class swords about 20,000 awards,
MVO 4th class crown and swords about 3,500 awards. This class rarely appears lately, which also drives up the price.
The shown cross is a Hemmerle with silver gilded medallion.
regards Andreas
