Extremely bad quality, It is on the border line to say whether it is bad Original or bad recent cast copy Ribbon is not an original If I am you I will pass Those crosses in much better quality are available on eBay on a very reasonable prices they are very common

Dear Members MERRY CHRISTMAS

Dear Members, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Bear Members , MERRY CHRISTMAS

I saw them They look a bit odd The Cross of the 1st Class of St Alexander - the central medallion looks like the one I listed earlier in the thread The box is late reproduction The Set is assembled Look the the hook on the sash it is meant for a cross without ribbon loop I think the Cross was upgraded from 3rd Class to 1st Class with one of the modern plastic one The same I can say for the central medallion of the fantasy Star listed earlier by Igor Cheers

I saw this Star on the Bulgarian Auction site It is a fantasy fake one..and the price is a big fantasy When I looked closely the red central part it reminded me of the dodgy central medallion I had to replace on a fake 1st Class Cross

I was offered 13.5% on one of the items Here is the item I am a Lucky Man

Thank you

Very Nice

In this photo King Boris III is dressed in a navy uniform I am not sure whether he held any honorable rank in the German navy

I agree Good work Toni

Nice one Igor Cheers

From the same seller on eBay he is from China and selling many other new production items Problem - He describes the items as brand new an -opened at the same time states that are Original WW1 period As you said "These are more of souvenirs" Cheers

I have seen few orders listed on eBay made in China Well, we can expect that. Orders and Decorations will not be spared from "knock off" production The good news, they are very bad quality (for the moment) and only very new collectors can get fooled.

Thanks

Very nice information

Welcome I forgot to tell you that those crosses with different quality were mainly made in Bulgaria Here is another one which is considered by some authors as the first ever made Soldier Cross Others believe that is Geman privately made by someone with deep pockets Whatever is said it is very good quality and unusual design Made from Silver and marked accordingly Cheers The same cross -part of an early medal bar

All are Original Because they were made in big numbers and were meant mainly to enlisted men their quality is not as good as the officers ones. Only few make exceptions with their better quality They were mainly German made Follow the link above Click on the bold text

Very interesting I agree Well done

Thank you
