CRBeery Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I brought this into my collection recently. It seems they had a bit of a hard life as all of the pieces show considerable wear. I just could not pass on the chain!
922F Posted November 1, 2019 Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Black enamel cross likely German Knight's Cross aka Randow Cross; silver cross probably a Russian exile St. George cross if centre is knight slaying dragon. Edited November 1, 2019 by 922F spelck

Possibly a Randow Cross. But, my guess is that the black Maltese Cross is the Avaloff Cross of the Russian West Army given that there is also a German styled Russian Order of St. George IV cl. and a Baltic Cross. This is a common grouping for Freikorps in the Baltic who stayed on to serve with Prince Bermondt-Avaloff. This chain might be Godet as the Order of St. George IV is in the style made by Godet which had grained arms and was modeled after the Prussian Red Eagle Order IV cl.

CRBeery Posted November 13, 2019 Author Posted November 13, 2019 Thanks! I didn’t realize this thread had life. The Baltic Cross is not marked but it is a two part constructed piece.
