Nice models The Commander by C.J.Bulsr is very nice in very nice condition

The mark on the Grand cordon and Commander Crosses are usually on the crown Very small "horse head"  Sometimes they are not marked Still they are 18 Carat Gold

Other crosses the marks are usually on the very bottom The Buls Knight  usually marked on the Ring  with "B"

early Order IV class in gilded silber

Hello. It's been my first year in this forum, but this is my first message. My name is Nurullah. I live in Istanbul. 

A few days ago I received this 1st degree Leopold Order. A very impressive and great engagement. I'm adding photos. I want to get more detailed information. Manufacturer, year range, rarity, approximate monetary value. 

Thank you everyone in advance.

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to add the photos more accurately.

Welcome, Nurullah, lovely to hear from you.

 

Unfortunately I cannot open your images, some odd format. Most people use something like .jpg or .png

Try converting your images to that, then look at the bottom of the posting window... there's a paperclip symbol where you can either drag files in or click on 'choose files' and find them on your computer. Then we can enjoy them and talk to you about them.

Welcome Nurullah, you bought a great piece.

Thanks for showing.

 

regards

Herman

It's a nice set, Nurullah.

 

Both of the center medaillion have the Belgian motto in French and Dutch. This means they are produced after the Royal Decree of October 24, 1951.

 

The "A900" hallmark is used for silver and means it's made of 90% silver.

The second one should be "F (some sort of pressing tool) C" and is the maker's mark of Fisch et Cie, who became FiBru in 1988 (I think) and later bought by P. De Greef in 2021.

 

So to me it looks like a complete set in the right box

 

Kind regards,

Vincent

Nice information.

Yes it is a nice Set

Price?  Most Collectors prefer the models with French text only --made prior to 1951.

Personally, I restructure my Belgium Collection few times and sold all my items made after 19

That mean this Set could anything around 1500+ EURO

Nevertheless very nice Set  Congrats

Hi Igor,

Nice cross and very unusual one.

 

As far as I know all officers at that period were made by J.G. Dutalis from 18 Carat Gold

 

The knight crosses were made from silver with 18 carat gold central medallions.
