    And that crown... ?!

    :speechless1:

    I think this is a later private purchased variation. Those presumably were offered e.g. in the 20s and 30s at all big medal producers as Steinhauer & L?ck, Deumer, Meybauer etc. However an interresting variation, think I'd buy it.

    :cheers:

    I agree. It is very likely a private purchase variant. If someone is going to fake a medal, you want to make the copy as similar to known originals as possible...not make them stand out. :speechless: And your not going to add detail like the crown relief in cross.

    This cross seems to be a mix between S.Meiningen Honor cross and S. Meiningen Honor medal...

    I think it will be interresting having some close up of the upper arm crown...

    could this be a case where the medal in question is a medal that has been upgraded into cross grade by being cut, and unfortunately with an incorrect non-meiningen top crown added? that top crown really bugs me. it's totally wrong for a meiningen.

    if it turns out to be a variant, awesome score!

    Eric has a good point and looking at it again the crown is a bit angled. I'd suggest you ask for a closeup of the back and an angled shot of the inside edges.
