BlackcowboyBS Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Sorry to say that, but I don't think, that this one is a good one. The original crosses for the officiers had a soldered horse on the cross.

I.", the horse is an integral part of the medal and does not seam to be soldered. Perhaps a private manufacture? Would you have a photo of such an item? Edited July 20, 2021 by augustin1813

Well one should never believe everything in the Nimmergut books, the honor crosses for 1809 for NCOs have the horses like your cross, the real crosses for the officers have a soldered horse on it. I guess you can see it pretty good on this photo!
