Order of the Star of Karageorge

[Igor Ostapenko]

This cross Manufactured in France or in Austaria ? 

Thank You !!!

In my opinion French, anyway a great piece! Damaged enamel adds some character to the order 

[Igor Ostapenko]

 Thank You ! 

I think about Scheid - see the shield and number 4 in date

I'd still put my money on Bertrand. Here's a comparison, Bertrand is on the left, Scheid is on the right.
Bertrand found HERE.
Scheid found HERE.

If Barry say " Bertrand " it's not 100% Bertrand   

[paja]

Let's say typical Bertrand pieces look just like that one on emedals and typical Scheid pieces look like the other one from my previous posts.
I've seen that Scheid's order in Car/Muhić book and to honest that's a bit of a puzzle to me. It looks just like Bertrand made order and even the authors state so. If I'm not mistaken there's a hallmark on its suspension ring, perhaps that's how they determined the producer. Anyway that particular example is very unusual for Scheid.
One more thing, generally speaking Scheid's pieces are hallmarked while Bertrand's aren't.

Any ideas of this particular piece?

It looks like AB (appearance and dimensions) but there are fee issues (e.g. crown enamel on both sides, strange color pattern, and wrong ring piece on reverse side)

The rest of the order looks ok, but I am not 100% sure. I don't have better pictures, but seems to be hallmark under the crown, which should be the French mark for silver.
