Got Red Eagle Order ?

[pinpon590]

Hello gentlemens !

I really love this prussian order ! So, let's go ! Show us your red eagle cross : with swords, with crown, with bow ribbon, with vintage... !

I begin with a 4th class cross, 1879-1918 model. On the back's button : "J. GODET & SOHN * BERLIN * "...

4th class model 1864-1879 in its original case. No makers mark.

Regards Navalmark

4th class with crown (Wagner) in its original case.

Has the 3rd class with swords in post #2 a makers mark ? Is does not look like an awarded piece. The golden border is too wide, the swors are not prussian ..... ?

They're known to keep good company.

The beauty of the RAO, as in all painted enamel orders, is the true uniqueness of each eagle. Let's see some closeups.

From the above bar

Another example.

Once there was a site that identified period and maker by the eagles, but it disappeared into cyberlimbo, as did my copy of the scans. Does anyone happen to have it filed away somewhere?

No, there's not marker mark, but a hallmark on the hilt of sword.
