Ravenft Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 Hello Gents! I noticed that this Order of the Crown also lacks a "tie" in the wreath which is something I've only seen in "commanders" orders. This is also the first time I've seen a makers mark on ANY Belgian medal. Usually I can identify orders by other means or by the box it came in but this one has been a total mystery to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Ravs
Great Dane Posted September 25, 2020 Posted September 25, 2020 To me it looks like a French 'boar head' (800) silver hallmark.

I know that during the First World War there were some Belgian decorations made by the French. Does anyone know if this means it was awarded to a French person or just that since the Germans occupied 95% of Belgium it was made in France.
Great Dane Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Could it just have been imported into France (if - like you say - it was awarded to a French)? I'm not an expert in when French hallmarks were applied...
1812 Overture Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Very beautiful Belgian crown order, I have a breast star. .
