I think it says 800 SILBER (but my wife says I do need new glasses) Kevin in Deva.

BEWARE  --  Fakes, some of excellent quality from the 1970's, abound especially of merit medals and Honor Crosses

Here's my example that will probably be part of my site's next update. The Honour Cross 2nd class is the second most "common" class of this order, with nine recipients known. In total, the list of known recipients names 90 persons - for all 27 classes and grades(!) of this order combined. See here for the list published by Dr. Lars Adler in October 2018.

27 Classes and grades? That seems like an admin nightmare to put it very mildly.

Not to mention on the confusing criteria it must have involved to be ''promoted'' to a higher class or grade.

Wow, so cool! That's one I'd consider to keep, although I'm neither collecting Hessen nor Hohenzollern...

This is an amazingly futuristic order. It wouldn’t be out of place in a science fiction film. I like the modernity of them. Does anyone know anything about the designer?
