Hello,
When this cross ws create in 1815 it was for civil and there is only 3 classes GrandCross, Commandeur cross and Ritterkreuz. and in 1866 the cross can be awarded with swords. Then there is still one class of Ritterkreuz. In the old Rangliste the name of Verdienstkreuz Ritter is name VRmKD. After all amendment in 1876 appeared a second class of the Verdienstkreuz
VRmKD = Verdienst Ritterkreuz mit Kriegsdekoration (mit Schwertern)
SV3X = Sachsische Verdienstorden mit Schwertern
Same cross and two differents abbreviations
On the photo he wore the VRmKD, EK2 1870 and commemorative medal for war 1870-71. Too bad that there is no claps on it to know exactly where he fought.

Hello everybody
After years of research I am proud to show you my new little treasure : the honour cross 3rd class with swords of the Princely Hohenzollern. Only 946 crosses were awarded.
The most important is that it is with its original box. The ribbon is missing (if someone has one for sale don't hesitate to pm me.)

Hi
A typical Scharffenberg Albrecht Orden. Now you need a good box to go with it.

Hi
Nice cross indeed. Like Alex said, W is for Wagner and next to this is the silver hallmark 938. It's not easy to find a good one to this day. Congrats for your purchase.

Too big to be a knight cross ribbon. Probably a neck ribbon which has never been worn. Have you made uv test to know if it is original or not ?
