Anhalt Hausorden Albrechts des Bären from eBay

[Sergio]

Hello, dear Gents!

What do you think about this one? It was sold at eBay yesterday: 3,31 cm x 4,3 cm, 16,05 gramm.

Looks fine, but I have some doubts...

Better pictures:

Much of the lettering is not crisply defined. I personally would pass on this one.

I agree Beau.

Really quite sloppy in places.

Gentlemen, many thanks for your reply! :beer:

But I have made a close study of pictures once again.

In spite of all the above-mentioned lacks of the award, small details in a figure of a bear are top-quality made! Just take note of the bear's teeth! Besides, a good indication is that the crown isn't connected to a ribbon of the legend. The award is made from fine silver and looks pretty old...Maybe it can be original private made piece nevertheless?
