Yankee Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hello ! So early XVIII century ? A 1st class knight cross ? First quarter 19th century. It is a knight 1st class. Very rare & fantastic condition considering the age. Great find Yankee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Lovely, and probably from the ca. 1820s. To be acurate, it is not a "Knight's cross 1st class" but rather a "knight's cross", as there was no "knight's cross 2nd" class insituted up to 1866. Go for it! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
