Rush79 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Dear gentlemen, I've known that they're were several producers who made the Serbian order of Takovo, f.e. Rothe, Scheid, Leser, ... But were they also made in France? By Arthus Bertrand? Or is this commander a Russian type? I do not see it so good, but I might notice a mark of AB on the bottom (more detailed photo's will follow), but no Boar's head... No other hallmarks were noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Are you sure it is not AF for Anton Fuerst as Bertrand is not know for making Orders of Takovo Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It looks like Rothe to me but their orders were marked with FR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush79 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 There's a mark in the right on the picture. But I'm not sure if it is even a hallmark? Were there any Takovo's who weren't marked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I'm also not sure if that's a hallmark. There are some examples that are not marked. If you could post a bigger image of the front and back side of the order I think I'd be able to give you definite answer if that's really Rothe's piece or not.

paja Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 You can find photos of one Grand Cross set made by Rothe on emedals website here. I still can't see all of the details but most of the features make me think of Rothe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush79 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Thanks Paja, it's helpfull. Comparing to the info you gave me, the chance is big that it is a Rothe. I'll try to make some more pics of the details. I used to believe that all order made by Rothe were hallmarked, but apparently I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 You are welcome! Most of the Takovo Orders are hallmarked, Rothe usually put the mark on suspension ring or loop. Looks like this one somehow escaped from the workshop before that Anyway, a great catch, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
