Its the "conscript medal", v?rnpliktsmedaljen in swedish. Given to all conscript that passes their military service with the grades 10-5-5 or better. The other one looks like a shooting medal.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions!

I also do think that the miniature is supposed to be weared in a button hole. The button size looks like a perfect fit for this.

So once more thank you all, now Im of to look for a 3rd class RAO

That ribbon sure look a lot like the Swedish order of the sword ribbon. The swedish one should be more dark blue but it very often faded to look just like that.

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Hope that you forgive me that my english isnt that good but I?ll try to get along anyway .

Well the only thing market Godet is the miniature. Sorry to say my camera isnt that good to get the small details on it. The button on the miniature reads J.Godet & Sohn in a "halfbow" at the top of it. In the middle there is som sort of mark that might be the company logo? Over it it reads KGL.Hofjuweliere, that I know stands for Royal Jeweler. Underneath is says Berlin. The size is 18mm both for the cross and the button.

This miniture come together with the cased Order, the cased order is the one that is marked with JHW. So the miniture is a seperat buy for the former owner.

What I am curious about is the other order, the one without the ribbon. This one is unmarked but I was wondering if there is any chance to still label a maker for it. Maybe based on the eagle/cross design.

Im thankfull for all the help Im getting and any further help I might get.

Hello Henke:

Greetings to you. What would you specifically like to know about your pieces? Perhaps I can be of some assistance. By the way, "J.H.W." stands for jeweler J.H. Werner of Berlin.

Best regards,

Hi & Thanks

I was curious about the age and the makes of these 2 crosses. When it comes to the age it looks like they are both "newer" versions since they have pebbled arms. Then with your help I now know the maker of one of them. But still curious the find the maker of the other one if that is possible.

Best Regards

Thank you so much for your warm welcome and the links, however they didnt help me really. It would still be a guess for me . What I can tell is that both are of the newer type with pebbled arms.

This one comes with a Box and a miniature, however I dont think that miniatures was issued togehter with the order or? My guess would be that its a later buy. The MM on the miniature reads J. Godet & Sohn. The order has a MM on it 6 o?clock arm, it reads J.H.W

On this one I cant find any MM at all:

Thank you so much for your time

Hi all!

Anyone know if there is a good book or site out there that can help me with dating and finding the makers of this award?
