Alex K Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 A newish one to my collection, a BVMO 4th class by Jacob Lesser with hallmarks. What puzzles me is that the reverse lower arm has wider edges than the others, I have also seen this on other equivalent pieces by other makers, any ideas?regardsAlex

sammlerchris1 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 That is protection from the area most vulnerable to rubbing and being chipped as exposed by medal bar mountings.Just false.The broarder lower Arm of the Cross means that the Medaillon ist silver gilded and not madewith solid gold.You have a nice peace (from my favourite maker), which is from 1917-1918.
