knight cross mit brillianten!

[David M]

Hi

recently I learned from Rick that one of the guys I am looking for as a recipient of the CHWO4 also got a swedish sword order Knightscross......with diamonds.....Well I did hear ofcourse of breast stars in various grades awarded with brilliants. but never of a KC! Does anyone have something similar in their database or even more a picture.

I am not curious just about the swedish order, but about low grades with diamonds in general, that´s why I posted my question here.

regards

David

Althoug replying to myself, I accidentaly stumbled on another KCmD, this time a dutch MWO was given to an officer by his men in 1816 and the wearer later was allowed to wear this by king Willem I. A rather strange case, but still yet another one. I seem to get the impression that this KCmD was a thing of the pre-imperial times...

The use of diamonds on lower grade classes in Sweden is mentioned in Arvid Berghman's "Nordiska Ordnar och Dekorationer" (1949), but unfortunately without pictures of them.

Didn't Russia have something similar (St. Anne etc.)?
