    1. Dear No one, my piece is a 2nd Class and it’s number is #909. Warm regards, Nihil Sine Deo
    2. Hello, I was wondering if there is any chance to find out the person who was awarded an Order of the Brilliant Star by the number from the back? The piece in cause has a high number, after #900 so I’m guessing that it was awarded more recently. Thank you very much!
    3. Hello! Thank you very much, I will try to find the catalogue and take a look. Once again thank you for the reference, I really appreciate.
    4. Hello! I’ve come in possession of this beautiful WW1 EK2 with magnetic core and non-magnetic frame and I observed that it has an hallmark on the ring which I couldn’t identify. Someone told me that it could be the hallmark of Friedlander-Berlin but I compared the hallmarks and the piece and I think they don’t match. The hallmark could resemble either an “CD” either an “5” or an “S”. If anybody can help me I would be very pleased. Thank you very much! https://postimg.cc/bSs19kK6 https://postimg.cc/Fdb6Q5zt https://postimg.cc/Yv1YRpsw https://postimg.cc/gXGD8wz5 https://postimg.cc/Jtn38CGb
    5. Hello, When I started the research about the piece, it was not listed for sale, but in the meantime something else appeared for sale that is in my main interest and I’ve thought to sell it because I need the money to buy that item. The second reason is because I love history very much and for me, the research it’s like a treasure hunt, where I acquire important informations about how to find and how to recognise the recipients of the Medals and Orders that belonged to Germany. Best regards, Iulian.
    6. Does anyone know how I could find more informations about Karl Andreas Ernst Becker? Thank you very much.
    7. Hello dear gentlemen, So it seems to be Oberregierungsrat Karl Andreas Ernst Becker. I searched him on the internet since Monday but I couldn’t find anything about him. I would like to thank to Mr. Stephan (BlackcowboyBS), honestly, I couldn’t ever have found him, I can’t even find informations about him. Best regards, Iulian.
    8. Hello! They are all genuine 100%. Even the ribbon is genuine (pretty hard to find separate). Best regards, Iulian.
    9. I don’t think that OMSA would put fake orders and medals as references. As you can observe in the pictures below the Eagle is not casted, it is made from three different pieces. And it would make sense to not make it entire from gold, because it would be too heavy (it has 73 grams). I think that tomorrow I will go and have it tested for gold. I will try to contact Mr. Bogdan and see his opinion and offer. Best regards.
    10. Hello Sir, Thank you for you opinion, but honestly I think the badge is original having in thought the striking details from the Eagle, or the incredible paintings that are on the middle. Please do not forget that the shield is only 16 millimeters in height and 12 millimeters wide, so for that size, the painting is of a rare beauty (the details like the bridge, the auroch or the dolphins). The photo you show me as original it is exactly the same piece (number 9 on the pin and the shield is damaged on the upper left side). Regards.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the list of awards for Nicolae Iorga or Constantin Argetoianu but I’ve found out that Ioan Pop (lawyer) had recieved the sign in 1st class. This is the Wikipedia page: https://ro.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioan_Pop_(avocat) Best regards, Iulian.
    12. Hello, I have found an project law for this sign, but for the actual sign, and it describes the old order. From what I understand, the Eagle must have been made from gold. I will upload the document. Best regards.
    13. Hello dear fellows, Few years ago I’ve bought this medal or order (it was formed from an 3 pieces lot, one Romanian regimental badge issued in 1934 and another foreign regimental badge) and since then I’ve tried to find out informations about it but I couldn’t find anything. One collector told me that this is the Romanian Order Alpha and Omega but I couldn’t find anything that confirms this or even any informations about the order. The cross without the chain is weighing exactly 35 grams and with chain is weighing 44 grams. It’s height is 66 Millimeters with the fixed ring, it is 44 millimetres wide and the chain is measuring exactly 100 Millimeters (10 cm). The middle cartouche appear to be made from separate pieces. I couldn’t identify the hallmarks, but to me, they look much older than the 30’ hallmarks. There also is a hallmark with a crown on the chain, that looks similar with the hallmark from the cross. The cross has the number 56 engraved on the bottom. Any information is much appreciated. Best regards. P.S. Here are pictures: The hallmark from the chain: The bottom of the cross:
    14. Hello, From my researches I found out that in the period of 1934-1935 (10 February 1934- 15 November 1935) the President of Romanian Senate was Leonte Moldovan (n. 18 februarie 1865 - d. 18 septembrie 1943) but I couldn’t find anything relevant about him. The legislative corps indeed didn’t and couldn’t survive after Carol II abdication. Best regards, Iulian
    15. Hello, I’ve tried to find some informations about Karl Andreas Ernst Becker but I couldn’t find anything. From my researches, thanks to the posted list, I think that another possible recipient could be Friedrich-Werner Graf von der Schulenburg, being one Saxon that recieved the Brunswick officers cross but I couldn’t find his award roll. Warm regards.
