Merry Xmas

Here my last Lion. I was given a home for him.

The OZL is light damaged. The silverplates under the green glasses are not in best condition. Also the ribbon. It must be wet for some times. The red color on the ribbon must be from the case.

But is it a commandercross, made from gold, 53,4 X 49,4 mm, 26,6 g.

Medaillon 18mm, weared ribbon 64 mm. No marks.

When we can see the results?

On Monday?

THX, I read it in the SDA.

Yes, in deed, the suspension ring is like a commanders cross. The diameters are from a grandcross. (expect Thies and Nimmergut). But the diameters are variable. A large commander?

I will be search for a information about the recipient. I heared, that exist in his family the arward document. But I don?t know, if I can get this information.

I have shown the pictures to Andreas Thies. He wrote:

"Das St?ck sieht auf dem Photo sehr gut aus und ist meiner ansicht nach ohne zweifel ein Original, deutscher Fertigung, ca. 1840-1860. Die deutschen GK sind wesentlich kleiner als die britischen. Es handelt sich mit h?chster Wahrscheinlichkeit um ein Gro?kreuz."

What kind of badge is it? Any idea?

Thies wrote, german grandcrosses are smaller then english grandcrosses. German grandcrosses with swords are 120 x 60 mm (116 x 61 mm), commandercrosses with swords are 86 x 46 mm without swords are 73 x 44 mm.

Nimmergut wrote: Grandcross 90 x 58 mm, Commandercross 68 x 44 mm.

Do you really think this cross is a commandercross?

Way WAY outside my interests, but I have always been curious. Is their any easy way to tell German Guelph badges from British Guelph badges? (Other than the hallmarks, of course.)

I don?t know...

Red Eagle,

I am guessing if this were awarded to a man, it would hang from the neck?

Yes, off course...
