    Version with Diamonds

    Diamonds were added to the order (as additional sign of personal monarch`s disposition and recognition) in 1882.

    Only 22 sets were issued between 1882 and 1917.

    Here we have a full list of recipients (with prices and jeweller names)

    Not to mention many others eccentricities...

    Nevertheless it was sold for 481 000 $

    Look for yourself ;)

    Provisional Government version

    This one was introduced in 1917.

    The "wind of freedom and change" blew away the crown and changed silver and gold to brass...

    The main (most likely the only one) manufacturer of this freedomized White Eagles became Eduard.

    All pieces (breast stars on reverse and badges on reverse above the right leg of the eagle) bears the same mark.
