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

Hi,

While still on this topic,

I would like to show you onother interestin St Alexander Order

It is 3-rd Class Commander -2Model 1887

It is made by The Austrian maker Rothe

The cross is maker marked and hallmarked with Austrian marks for silver

The interesting thing is that the crown is of French type

All Rothe 3-Class I have seen have distinctive crown - Austrian Type

Is this Order an early Rothe piece or hybrid, or...?

You can have a look for onother comparison on the Emedals Site- They have at the moment 3-rd Class by Rothe for sale

Hi Christophe,

Thank you for your welcome

These Orders are part of my St Alexander Collection

I can identify the rest however the two ones I listed as a topic are not described in any book I came across

That is why I have listed them.

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
