Prussian Crown Order Marked "SFS"

[Scott]

I found this PKO at the SOS. The bottom of the lower arm is neatly stamped S F S . Two, very small pins at the juncture of the upper and lower arms hold the center enameled sections in place (the pins can only be seen under magnification).

Opinions welcome... :cheers:

A very nice item and with S.F.S. also very rare.

Greetings Mike

Thank you Mike. Can you tell me what maker had the initials SFS? I tried a forum search without success.

[RAO]

Yes I can. ;o)

As far as I know the "S.F.S." of Samuel Friedeberg & Söhne should be engraved, but may be I missunderstand the meaning of "stamped"

Regards, Komtur.

Here's a better photo of the mark -- perhaps it is engraved.
