Hello, thats Prinzregent Luitpold the father of Leopold. I don't know the two awards.

Hello, on Sunday I was able to get a few more pieces from my South African friend. His father was in the South African Air Force during the Second World War and then in civil aviation in SA.

Thank you very much for the explanation.

beware of chrisnico. Bad fakes.

Here the difference between a original and the shown MVO Here the original

The quillons of the swords are typical for the the "Sammlerraritätenclub".

Thats a Hemmerle silver guilt.

Hi, here my little ILR corner. The last arrival was the badge of Schweinfurt.

The manufacturer of the three MVO is Weiss&Co. The enamel of the right one looks awful. It should look like the left one.

My newest entry. I've been searching for this Hemmerle with golden medaillons about ten years. regards Andreas

Hello, the pieces with crown are usually twice as expensive, because much rarer. 4 class swords about 20,000 awards, MVO 4th class crown and swords about 3,500 awards. This class rarely appears lately, which also drives up the price. The shown cross is a Hemmerle with silver gilded medallion. regards Andreas

After 20 years of MVK searching, I was now able to get my first piece without swords. It is a second class from Hemmerle.
