    Hi JeffV,

    It nice and original to me -minus few chips - Yes it is Silver Gold gilded

    and the marks look on the ribbon loop ( French mark for silver "boar head" and maker,s mark -the romboid one) and one on  the very bottom of the cross ( French mark for Silver) are OK

    If the price is right around 300 -350 Euro .

     

    Cheers

    This one is not simply silver gilded.

    It has central medallions made in pure gold.

    I have similar badge in my collection.

    Hi JapanX,

     

    Yes, the central medallions of those luxury models are made of 18 Carat Gold .

    Some of the crosses are made of 18 Carat Gold some are Silver  very heavily 18 Carat gilded

    In my opinion the making of 18 Carat gold crosses stopped some time between the WW1 and WW2 period

    After this period crosses in 18 Carat Gold are extremely rare even to the used to extravaganza French
