Denmark Swedish order of the nothern star, knight

[Claudio]

Dear forumites,

I just bought the above-mentioned order mounted as russian/baltic/danish style. They told me it's pure gold, but I suspect it's only silver gilted, since the weight is 18.2 g and that is too heavy to be only.

Furthermore I think also the ring might have been replaced.

I'd like to hear your comments and how much such piece would cost on the market.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Ciao,

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

If in gold, this cross should be marked 18K on the bottom arm. The medal-ring might very well be the original, the ribbon-ring is not from a Swedish manufacturer.

cheers
