Red Eagle 4th Class with Swords and Crown

[LuckySlevin]

Hi, 

I would be very grateful to know your opinions on this order which is currently on ebay:

https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Roter-Adler-Orden-4-Klasse-mit-Krone-u-Schwertern/353350257932?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I have no experience on judging the authenticity of war awards so will be happy to know your point of view before trying to bid. 

Also the design of the eagle looks different from the typical ones I find on internet. 

 

Thank you.

Hi

It is not easy to find such good item on ebay. Before biding, read the article of Andreas (medalnet) here about the design of the Eagle

http://www.medalnet.net/Eagle_Design.htm

Only after that and after reading information about the good or bad Red Eagle Order, you can bid or not.

As stated, these are a bit of a major minefield. There are aspects of this example that I like, and others that I don't.
