Dave Danner Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Someone was being naughty.That certificate says A Magyar ?rdemrend Lovagkereszt, or Knight's Cross of the Hungarian Order of Merit. He appears to be wearing, however, a Tisztikereszt, or Officer's Cross. Or he cut off the ring suspension and converted his knight's cross into a pinback.
