JBFloyd Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 This has been described as a mark of distinction from Auguste Viktoria, but there are several aspects of it that leave too many questions: 1. If a gift from the Kaisarin, I'd expect it to ge gold and by the house jeweler, perhaps hand-made. It's mass-produced, gilt and marked by "B.H. Mayer/Pforzheim" (22x19mm, excluding the pin) 2. The cyphers I've seen use an intertwined "AV", without an "I", and in a different style. Some use the Imperial crown, others don't. I'd expect an Imperial cypher to be uniform no matter where it was used. Can anyone shed some light on what this piece represents?
