Megan Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thank you... I was coming to that conclusion myself, as I've now got a Grand Officer badge image which shows BOTH sides & I guess the Grand Cross would be the same. Good to have it confirmed.

Carol I Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Insignia of the Order of Carol I on display in the National Military Museum in Bucharest a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Schena Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Truly one of the most beautiful awards in my opinion. About 7 years ago, I saw a GC set for $5,000 (same guy who offered me a knight's badge of the Order of Ferdinand mentioned in that thread). I still harbor dreams of stumbling upon a set...Thanks for the great pics!Cheers,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
