Austria-Hungary Kriegskreuz f?r Zivilverdienst

[pinpon590]

Hello,

thank you for the comment: the 1st Class measures 63 x 63 mm.

Best wishes,

Enzo

Thank you ! I this cross !

[Elmar Lang]

I agree, it's a decoration of very fine design, truly "Jugendstil".

In any case, it's very difficult to find an ugly-designed imperial Austrian order or decoration...

Hello,

I congratulate with you for this find and thank you for having posted the images of this rare miniature.

It's very interesting to see that the piece bears the marks for silver and of the "Wiener Werkstätte".

New item in collection. 4. class civil cross in a box. Marked S on the back side but I don't know what it means.

[Elmar Lang]

Another fine piece of this extremely well designed "Jugendstil" decoration. Its finish appears as nearly intact.

Best wishes,

Elmar Lang

@Elmar Lang: Any idea what S means on the back ? Maybe Souval ?

[Ulsterman]

No-but I just ransacked my silver books. .... not Souval...he was "RS".

[Magician]

Maybe "S" stands for Seifert József from Slovakia - Pozsony, Pressburg .:unsure:

Bratislava

..I am not sure.. I have never seen a decoration surely made by him, I have seen his name only in a case (that "universal" black cardbox)... I think he was only "uniformierungs" maker....
