Hi ! Here is mine, in order to compare...

I begin with this nice group of prussian Hohenzollern order. This order is finally the order I prefer, with a wonderful design ! :jumping: :jumping: :cheers:

Hi gentlemen ! I would like in this post that you show your objects, groups, decorations etc. you prefer ! Not out of necessity rare items, but anyway pieces we prefer, because of beauty, because of story of this piece etc. Go on your camera ! :cheers:

The cross, close up : :cheers:

Very nice bar ! :cheers:

And now, a nice mini of Hohenzollern Royal House order, with swords : And with the cross in real size : :cheers:

Hi Noor ! I have bought mine 55,00€, 5 or 6 years ago... :cheers:

Yes, I search it since a very long time... This cross look like the Bavaria Ludwig cross don't you think ? :cheers:

Thank you !

Hi ! I just found this nice one ! Quite rare I think, I don't have seen a lot of Adolf Friedich kreuz to sell. Does someone have some informations about number of award ? I will do some better pictures in a few days... Thank you !

Thank you gentlemens ! Yes, an unique design, quite modern I think ! Does someone have reference book specifying number of award (even approximate) of this nice cross ? Or are the records defenitively lost ? And what about initials : more I watch them, more I'm convinced of it's MA... and not MF (as Alec A. Purves is saying in his book The Medals Decorations & Order of the Great War) :cheers:

Hi ! I want to present you my last purchase : a Marie cross, from duchy of Anhalt. This has been created by Duke Friedrich II on 10 january 1918, as a merit cross for women, during wartime (nurses etc.). The cross took the name of his wife, Marie from Baden, duchess of Anhalt. The cross is made from silvered white metal. On the obverse of the cross, we can see initials : some books said they are "M F" for "Marie Friedrich", but, I better see "M A" for "Marie and Antonia" (Antonia from Saxony Altenburg, mother of Duke Friedrich II). What do you think about it ? I post a close up of the cross : On the upper arm, we can see a crown, and on the lower arm is the year of creation : 1918. On the reverse of the cross, we can see arms of Anhalt on the medallion. I don't know how were awarded, but with a creation so late, the number will be low I think ! Does someone possess other cross like it ? :cheers:
