Could you identify this red eagle please?

A friend of mine asked to check this medal, could you help me please?

Hi Stuka f,

please ask your friend about better pictures from the front, back and

if there are some hallmarks too.

Regards

Hey Andreas,

there are marks but they are not clear. To me it is ok, just don't know how old it is...

Kris,

Appears to be 1810-30 type, but whether German made or not difficult to tell, certainly nice.

Thanks Paul!

What you said could exactly match, Paul.

It seems the guy also has a wax seal bearing the coat of arms of the original owner, showing the medal next to the legion d'honneur.

It might well be a French made medal.

Hi Kris,

very nice early one, here is a link showing the several types

I´m not sure if it is a prussian made one. Maybe you are able to recognize the hallmarks?!

Maybe someone is able to identify the family crest.

I don't think it's a Legion d'Honneur on that seal. It seems to have 4 cross arm instead of 5.

Looks very similar to a an Order of the Bath.
