Sweden SWEDEN ORDER OF THE SWORD - OLD MODEL
Christian J replied to Graf's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Some of them are stamped on the rim. Model wise I think it stayed the same for all of its 125 year life. 1850-1975. Maybe there were some small modification done to the crown. I can't really remember. I'll get back to you. The first model seems had an smaller hinged crown. -
Great looking pieces. What's the size of these?

Thanks for the references. I still think it's the same and had some time at the workshop, hinge and hilt fixed. -

I'll bet my bottom dollar that it's the same example. It's been slightly repaired and the missing hilt and cross is from manual editing for the catalogue (from which auction is it if I might ask?). In the time it seems it lost some enamel on the swords. -

Actually seems to be the same piece. Look at the enamel damages. -
Thanks guys for commenting.

Hi Tifes, Thanks for replying. I got this picture from another forum. Easier to see with the loupe when you know what you are looking at. Yes, it's a shame about the "emeralds" and a couple of the "pearls". Does this effect the desirability much? Best regards Christian

Commemorative Medallion Scandanavian Corps At Magersfontein 1899
Christian J replied to QSAMIKE's topic in Africa
My unmarked medal. Missing its reverse text. I can't explain why. One can notice a faint shadow where it should be. Also a very rare commemorative booklet from 1930 with the medal imprinted. Written by the corps founder Christer Uggla. -
I have this Iron Crown. The ring is clearly marked with A for Wien and what with a little imagination would be a goat and 3 for 18ct. FR for Rothe. The mark on the cross is blurred like hell. Could it be something else considering the ring is made of gold? 33gr, 75mm. Guess it's a first class?
