Gordon Craig Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Yesterday was a good ebay day as I was able to add an Order of Merit of the HUPR 5th Class to my collection that came in a very early case. The case is not the square one that this award is normaly seen in but in a wartime case with the rounded end. The Rakoci cim is still visible on the top of the case and obviously has been there for some time. The photos I will post are low quality ones from the auction. I'll do beter when the award actually arrives.Regards,Gordon Edited February 29, 2008 by Gordon Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Gordon,Another great find my friend! Congratulations!!!! Thanks to Charles I just got my first entry into this series myself. They are beautiful awards! And to have the case as well... especially that type. I only have one such for an Imperial Austrian award but I love those types with the rounded fronts! Gorgeous!
