I should have mention the inscription: C.Poellath Schrobenhausen on the badge and the needle attachement.

Absolutely. We are looking at quite a chnage of craftmanship over one century. The early Prussian stars made predominantly by Hossauer use the same pin system. Later pieces (already Humbert & Sohn, Hanff & Zimmermann) are taking advantage of the very smart screw back system. Yes, sometimes the medaillion still moves, but on an economical level it was still the best way to make those stars.

As I mentioned, the wire can be found on almost all order decorations. Older pieces like the one Red pictures does not neccessary have that. the jewelers learn those days...... The wire goes through the cross as well as through both parts of the medaillion: [attachmentid=30855] [attachmentid=30856]

This is to hold the center in place. allmost all order decorations have that. Using just the normal resin could have been fine, but still carried the risk of heating up in and making the resin soft. This could cause the center medaillion to turn of fall out. the wire prevented that from happening.

Good stuff! I don't think many people did have a chance to see inside a cross and realize that they are all hollow.

...2nd class with swords: [attachmentid=30675] I believe this bar belongs to one of those officers from the Jaeger Regiment 9 in Ratzeburg.
