Hauptmann Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Possibly the Order of the North Star... here's one I found which has a base that looks the same other than being in a different color... which, if the same with many other countries is simply a manufacturer's variation of the cases. http://www.google.co...=1t:429,r:1,s:0 Seems to have the same shape, marks of the balls finials, etc. Hoping this helps but I'm sure someone with more knowledge in the area of Swedish ODM's will jump in soon.

GRA Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Dear Friends , If someone can can identify this SWEDISH Box , i will be very happy. Thanks In Advance . Avs Hello avsaribar! I don't know what exactly was in it, but it was issued during the reign of king Gustaf V (1907-1950). /Jonas Edited December 13, 2011 by GRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimj Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It was most likely a order of the Northern (or Pole) Star. Northern Star orders were by far the most common to foreigners, but the box was the same for the others so who can tell for sure... /Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerd Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I agree with Kim, probably a Northern Star , here is a similar box to a Northern Star Order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Too bad, the class and identity would easily be established by this sticker. They can be peeled off, but occasionally remnants are still present. The enclosed image illustrate a Commander 2nd class of the Order of Vasa with the sticker in green. The Order of the Sword came in yellow and the North Star in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avsaribar Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Dear Peter , So this box , i mean your box with green sticker is Order of Vasa Commander ? Best Regards , Avs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yes. It's smaller than the Commander 1st class or Grand Cross (128mmx90mm). The enclosed Knight of the North Star is 100mmx60mm and it has no number prefix, as it came in only one class (gold). Both the Order of the Sword and Order of Vasa had a Knight 2nd class in silver.
