pinpon590 Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Hi ! Very nice ! I possess the same, but without the crown... Marked "WILH. KUNZ" on the ring. :cheers:
trakkles Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Hello, the etui like nearly perfect condition, can you show the upperside of the case? please regards daniel
Iver Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) ..hello.. the case is in superb condition, but its not for this "old type" cross, but for one with "normal" crown... i have bought it together with a decree for GVK mdK.. here are some photos... unfortunatly no inscription or makers logo... Edited May 21, 2011 by Iver
Iver Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 ...but its really big... it has length cca 13,5cm :)
Josef Rietveld Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 congrats iver, a very nice cased early braun-piece. did it come from athens haynau
Josef Rietveld Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) doubleposting PLEASE DELETE !! Edited May 22, 2011 by Josef Rietveld
Iver Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Haynau: ..no, the cross was bought here in Slovakia, the case + the decree (few threads befor this) came from Croatia... But as I wrote, the case is made for classic cross, not this one with small crown... but I have bought the cross in Mayers case dated 1907, so I am waiting for an old case (with FJ/V initials on the lid) to buy...
Iver Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 Gold merit cross with crown, silver hallmarked, marked G.A.S....
Elmar Lang Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 The interesting Scheid's variation with the "1849" device in the White enamel. Congratulations: it is not common to see. E.L.
bazsi Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 It looks like as a funeral piece, I have a FJO knight's cross which manufacture is similar to it.
Iver Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Yes, really should be funeral piece. Is it possible to see your FJO?
bazsi Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Of course:-). Unfortunately not the best photos. I have posted it in a topic on medals.extra.hu, but the forum doesn't work now, so I can't be able the insert the link now.

erikscollectables Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Here a wartime decree. For most of the war this officer was a leader of an Artillery Reconoissance team and won several medals for that. How he ended up in the Artillery Restmaterial collection department is unclear to me. He had no wounded medal so that is not it maybe otherwise physical or psychological unfit to continu the difficult fighting tasks? Edited January 1, 2015 by erikscollectables
