Hello All!

I have some questions from this two orders, i hope anybody can answer me.

First order is Order of the Crown of Romania 1 type. 61mm x 61mm , 40.61g, The cross in silver gilt with marker marks. What is this marker? This name is the commander?s grade?

Second order is Order of the Crown of Romania knight cross 2.type? 42.4mm x 40.4mm 20.01g, maybe silvered tombak (?)

Approximately what is the value of this two items on this condition?

Thank You and Best Regards!

"AF" is the mark of an unidentified Austrian maker. Take a look in the topic entitled Unknown (Austrian?) hallmarks.

You're welcome. The lion (or lynx) head is indeed an Austrian mark for 0.750 silver.

These crosses are commons or not?

These crosses are commons or not?

They appear now and then on the market, but quite common they are not.
