Hello Alex, please compare the crowns. The pics could be better, but i think you can see the differences. The outer shape is different, the cross on top left is llarger and cut-out. The pearls in the bottom row left have all the same size, right they get smaller from center to the sides, so it looks more 3-dimensional. The edges of the cross on the right side are correctly silver, the cross on the the left side has been completely gilted. So we have here two pieces strucked from two different tools. As Mike said, the cross on right side matches the tool of the Berliner M?nze, today stored in the Bode-Museum in Berlin Regards Markus

Nice case, nice box, but the cross do not match. It is different to those kind of crosses made by the Berliner M?nze. I would expect such an awarded piece in this case. And because of this "exchange" i also worry about the box ............ no problem to change the label from an EK-1st-class-box ........... and no problem to print out the label if i have a box for the Red-Cross 3rd class .............. bad thoughts, but not impossible ............. Regards NavalMark

I am searching for any informations about the decorations awarded to Parson Ferdinand Dahms of the Berlin St.Georg-Church. He was awarded the Kronen-Orden 3rd Class in 1885 and died in 1891. So please, if anyone has a prussian roll of decorations - Ordensliste before 1891 - would you have a look for him ? Thanks and regards CSForrester

Bundesrepublik Kapitän shoulderstraps - what era?
NavalMark replied to webr55's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
They are shurly not Hapag. The Hamburg-Amerika-Linie had uniform-regulations which were very close to those of the former imperial navy until 1945. So the golden stripes on the shoulder-boards and also on the sleeves have had for all non-nautical officers a coloured underlay. Engineers from black velvet, medicals from cornflower blue velvet and so on. The coller of the blue jackets were covered with the same material and colour. And, of cause, the buttons show always the HAPAG-shield on an anchor. Regards CSForrester
