Jef #34 Posted August 30, 2006 See here a beautifull Officers cross, from the time that orders where made by juwellers Look at the "I" in the middle of the Royal monogramHello Guy,Nice crosses you have there. When seeing your post i immediately compared my Leo orders.In your message you stated: " ...from the time that orders where made by jewellers"Does this mean a cross with a "I" in the middle of the Royal monogram has a makers mark from the juweller? I have two with a "I", but I wasn't able to find any mark.Kind regards,Jef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddywhack #43 Posted September 16, 2006 heres mine!!! some twat had painted the crown and lion with matt gold paint! iv since gotten it all off and it looks amazing with proper guilding on it!!! very nice!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacky #44 Posted September 16, 2006 Nice medal,But I don't think that it had been painted by someone, more likely by the jeweller since I believe it to be an officers cross.If you look at the ribbon, there is a hole and a circular "shadow-shape" to be seen on the ribbon,there belonged an rosette to denote the officers class instead of the knights class.Kind regards,Jacky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oli4vercammen #45 Posted October 22, 2006 heres mine!!! some twat had painted the crown and lion with matt gold paint! iv since gotten it all off and it looks amazing with proper guilding on it!!! very nice!!! Oh I remember that one I'm glad that you got rid of the paint of that terrorist (hey, it wasn't me )! are you still looking for that rosette? An old one is going to be impossible and a new one is going to be expensive, I'll warn you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You had to see that, it was a true horrorshow, before I handeled it and sold it to Paddywhack. I believe that are my pictures, before he restored it.There where plastic diamonds glued on it and the crown had a thick layer of gold paint on it (the horror, the horror, the horror )I removed the diamonds and the thick layers of some sort of glue.I like to see the final result Paddywhack. Do you have pictures?here wil follow pictures how I got it: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
