Hungarian Flag Order awarded to a Romanian

[Gordon Craig]

This Order of the Hungarian Flag with Wreath came with an authorization document issued by the Romanian government. The person awarded the order appears to have been a well know enthic Hungarian poet who was originally from Transylvania. This order was primarily given to foreigners but was sometime awarded to Hungarians. I thought awarding of a Hungarain order to a well known Romanian might be of interest to those who collect Romanian ODMs.

First up is the top of the case. It is a dark red simulated leather plastic cover on a wooden case. The bottom is identical so I won't post a picture of it.
