GODISHIGH Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hello, I have never owned one of these and know nothing about them but it is a nice looking piece but I would like some more opinions on it Thanks John
Deruelle Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 Hi What a beauty. A nice knight cross 1st class with X of Ernestine House Order Christophe
922F Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Check for marks; may be gold. This piece with so called Pariseren [French] sword quillons - some say these indicate Saxe Altemburg or Saxe Miningen issue. Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha issue usually seen with so called Prussian Sword quillons. Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha issue post WW I swords on ring insignia displayed French quillon swords, however.
VtwinVince Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 What he said, although genuine gold pieces are not usually marked for content. I have a piece in 750 gold which has no marks.
Beau Newman Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Gold pieces are usually IDed from the weight. Gold examples are almost always hollow and are noticeably lighter than the silver gilt types.
