Hi, I would like your opinion on the German Eagle Order 4-th Class I have not seen this patern in any books, however I have seen it for sale by few Dealers in US and Germany. It is 50 mm in diameter it is marked on the pin 900 and 21 It appears to be silver/ gilded Regards Graf

Hi Komtur, Thank you for the information. The time of production could be earlier- between WW1 and WW2. i also suspect that these so called replacment Orders were more likely made for other purposes - like display or for Museums, or/and by order of the family for personal display etc. I do not know I have seen this particular Star on Ebay.de two times for sale as 100% Original for as much as 2850 Euro I forgot to mention that the Star is marked on the back P.Meybauer Berlin SW 68 It is 80 mm in diameter The body is much lighter then the WW1 and earlier periods Stars I also bought it as "Original " replacment three years ago.in the beginiing of my collecting I did pay for it 250 Euro Regards Graf

Hi, I am new to the Forum I would like your opinion on this Star of the Prussia Red Eagle I have it for a quite a while It is much lighter in body then the very old WW1 and earlier Models The dealer at the time of sale stated that it is WW2 period replacment Star for the WW1 veterans It is marked by Paul Meybauer on the back and have a very slim pin Graf

Hi , I am a new member i collect Orders from Europe including Royal Bulgarian Orders I have two Orders of St. Alexander that I could not find in the existing sources of information One appears to be 4- th Class of the First Model ,Second Type -1886 It is 45 mm wide and very thick - 7mm at midpoint of the arms The problem is that the 4-th Class from this period is 39 mm wide Is it possible this Order to be 3-rd Class with missing princely Crown and converted to 4-th class or..? The other Order -it looks like to be from French Maker It came with French Legion of Honour Officer Ribbon with rosette The cross is 35 mm wide and 4.5 mm thick It appears to be 4-th Class of The second Model 1887 - however it has a crown, which looks like the crowns made by French makers for exported foreign orders. Usually this Class comes without crow. The crown and the cross have the same aging patina. There are not signs indicating that the crown was fitted at later stage. Is this piece once off of kind ( The French maker made it before knowing the shape of the crown fro the next Model) or.........? Note: The Officer Class of the Order of St.Alexander - Boris iii Model is for comparison I am waiting for your opinion
