Hungary Hungary - Order of Vitez

[Verdun16]

This is one of my all-time favorites and from the first time I saw a photo of one I knew that I had to have it. Managed to get three of these back in the 1990s but since then have not been able to find any more,

Here?s my Boczan, Vit?z badge. Note that the sword on the Boczan badges is made of silver..

Hi Hunyadi,

Yes it does have 1989 marked on it and also has some other writing engraved on the other side of the reverse,

Dear Sir, What is the distinction of the silver sword? Sincerely, Scott

There is no distiction for the silver sword. It was the method that this particualr manufacturer made them. They are more rare and of a much highrer quality in my opinion.

Hunyadi, Thanks for the reply. Now I know. BTW what do you think is a fair price for these? Sincerely, Scott

I have never come across the order of Vitez before, but they are absolutely stunning!

I think I will be keeping my eyes peeled for one now too.....

On the open world wide market - what they are going for on Ebay is reasonable. Though I could never bring myself to paying that much for one ($375 on up on Ebay) The price within Hungary is cheaper, but WWII stuff has become very rare.

I want to put up a display for Hungary. I just met someone close to me that has a connection. I also am friends with an ex cold war Hungarian Airforce soldier. So the prices are fair? Good to know. Thank you for letting me know. I have all the campaign medals but would like some other differint ones too. I have an standing invitation to visit Budapest and a cabin close by. Maybe if I go you can let me know of some military places of interest to visit. Thanks again, Scott
