GODISHIGH Posted April 30, 2019 Posted April 30, 2019 Hello, Im interested in this Grand Cross but I would like more opinions on it Thanks John
Sal Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 John its modern maybe 1980s? No enamel on reverse, might be from the US Lieutenancy or region of the order. With no sash I’d say not more than $200 but certainly a nice looking piece. The quality of manufacturing is diminished in the more modern pieces so if you can examine it do so
Graf Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I agree wit Sal. Modern item. Also I am not convinced that it is a Grand Cross More likely Commander Just explore this Dealer site, including the Sold items as well and you can make your mind Best
922F Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Agree with Sal & Graf, as usual! Grand Cross badge should measure in the 55-59 mm by 105-115 mm range. Workmanship/appearance of this example suggests Stange, St. Louis, Mo, U.S.A. origin [thick, non-tapered or striated 'loop' for ribbon [cravat] attachment, very thin connecting rings between cross and trophy of arms, plus trophy of arms rather 'flat' appearance]. Would guess 2000's manufacture. Similar neck badges offered at about US$200 sometimes including case & ribbon on e*ay. Edited August 27, 2020 by 922F add info
