VFMR Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 A beautiful Order of Maria Cristina 1st class, awarded to a General of Cavalry when he was a officer fighting in the Cuba war 1896-1898, this order was stablished by Queen Maria Cristina on her regency in 1890, it's a early sample, in my oppinion the nicest spanish decoration design.
