    Hi Igor,

     

    Yes it is very nice In real looks even nicer

    It is more likely to be WW1 period It is the small type 53 mm x 30 mm

    German made Stamped, as you see "SILBER" on the top

    Godet?!  Perhaps yes, however without maker mark difficult to say

    Recently 14 Carat Gold badge by Godet was sold on auction in Germany

    It was a stunning piece and the price was also stunning Sadly I was not the lucky buyer

    Hi 922F,

     

    Thank you for the comment. I also, like you, have been looking for a such mini for a while

    My latest Red Cross

    The ribbon looks modern one and not the correct, however this Cross is difficult to get, therefore i can not be very picky

    It's definitely Bulgarian award. It's made in Austria though.

    I agree

    I hope Igor meant something different

     

    Cheers

    Text on the cardboard says something like "Austrian auxiliary committee for Bulgarian Red Cross".

    Not sure what that means. Perhaps Austrian and Bulgarian Red Cross organizations worked together during the WWI and this cross was to award people who excelled in this work?

    Gentlemen,

    Hilfskomitee translates as "Assistance Committee" making the complete wording on the car translate as "Austrian Assistance Committee for the Bulgarian Red Cross".  Therefore, this was a committee set up to do just that.  Assist the Bulgarian Red Cross.  I am not sure why this committee would be producing these Bulgarian badges unless it were to raise fund for the Bulgarian Red Cross since the card shows a sale price.  I don't doubt that this is a Bulgarian badge.

    Kingdom of Bulgaria: WW1 Badge of Merit of the 
    Bulgarian Red Cross.
    The badge, with the Crown of Tsar Ferdinand, 
    was awarded to Austrians, Bulgarians and 
    Germans, for meritorious services (or more 
    commonly, for offering significant amount of 
    money) to the Organization.

    Regards,

    Gordon
