    Romania - Grand Cross Star of Romania Order


    Recommended Posts

    I was given the following description for this order:

    Romania Kingdom - Order of the Romanian Star, Grand Cross, sash badge, 1st type. With Sash, hallmarked on the ring.

    Size - 75x125mm

    I don't have experience in handling this award, please provide your opinions.

    I have two main questions:

    1) Does the reverse suppose to look like this? I don't see blue enamel on the arms of the cross - it this normal?

    2) Is sash ribbon original?

    Thank you!

    I find it very strange that there is no blue enamel to the rear of this piece,

    especially as the wreath is coloured, and the background behind the Kings Cypher.

    The other lower classes have the cross in blue on both sides of the piece

    The sash looks similar to this type being offered at:-

    another seller of New Romanian sashes:-

    Your piece also looks very similar to the one being offered here, is it in fact the same item?

    Kevin,

    Thank you!

    Yes, that's the same cross. I too find it strange that it has no blue enamel on reverse. It's one thing if enamel is damaged, but here it is missing completely.
