hello all,
i have been extremely busy as of late and unfortunately haven't had time to do much collecting. however, i had this piece fall into my lap a few months ago. here is my latest addition to my modest collection of french items.
i believe this to be a type VII knight's grade from the reign of louis philippe (1830-1848). it measures 46mm x 75mm
thank you, k!
very interesting!! the thule society runes did seem familiar, but i could not quite place them.
based on the info you have shared, i'm not sure the example you have provided scans of seems to be an original period piece. but you already knew that ;)
ok, i'll bite. what do the runes symbolize? i don't think i've encountered this cross before. do period fotos exist that show it being worn by freikorps members/veterans?
it's at times like this when i miss rick the most. great piece, robin! i've always been interested in adding one of these to my humble collection of veteran's awards. (note the apostrophe)
...or is it veteran awards?? aargh
