Hello Gentlemen!

Can you help me to identify the maker of this FJO? I cant see the makers mark on the ioop, it's sewn.

The order is bronze, but the crown looks like gilded silver. There is no an enamel in the central medallions.

Thanks in advance

Where did the upper-half of the chain go?

Hi Don,

One of the marks of the ring looks like a silver mark: "Diana head 2A" (silver 900)

Hi gentlemen

it is gilt broze cross marked Rothe, box is from Mayers. There is awarded officer at picture only as Hauptman (captain) - it was taken between years 1898-1906. He ended his career as Oberst (colonel) in 1918 and he was also promoted to the nobility the same year. Died in 1941 in Košice (Slovakia)
