[Igor Ostapenko]

Thank you Claudio !  

In Barry's store was few Savoy orders  https://www.emedals.com/europe/italy/orders/military-order-of-savoy 

 

but this $2.5K - so expencive ! 

Why ? 

[claudio2574]

Can't answer. All those prices seem to me much too high. The cross is beautiful, but for a XIX century one you should expect to pay 2K or less - and they are quite scarcer than this one!

[Igor Ostapenko]

Thank you Claudio ! 

Do you have pictures of Order from XIX century ? 

[claudio2574]

Here you find some, sold in Italian auctions. First half of XIX century

Am I being harsh in thinking that the enamel on this example is really rather inferior, particularly when compared to the examples in post #6? I wonder how it justifies Spink's assessment very fine?
