Romania order of the Crown Type II

[Alex K]

Hi all, I've just added this Commander class type II to my growing collection, could any of the experts decipher to markings? I've made them as clear as I can, any help appreciated

 

regards

edit, just for comparison with my type I, never realise until side by side, it's considerably smaller

A nice Weiss example. The markings are "589-36", "HW" and the national mark for silver.

Hi, thanks for theexplanation, "HW" would be for Hermann Weiss, the national mark for silver is logical, what would the 589-36 signify?

The jeweller's first name was Heinrich and 589-36 was some sort of serial/production number.

Hi, Thanks for the additional details, yes you're right, I got the name wrong, I shouldn't have really as its in gold lettering on the inner satin lining of the case!!, must pay more attention
