bulgaria Silver cross of Order St. Alexander

[Igor Ostapenko]

1st post-battenberg issue, 1888 (?) 

[Graf]

Another variation of this model

I can guess it is an early post Prince Battenberg issue by Rothe  --perhaps a bit later then 1880?

[Igor Ostapenko]

Can you make photos of rim of cross ? 

[Graf]

See the swards they are hand made pattern on the back of the handles

The central medallion appear flatter and the text is similar to Batenberg issue

The rim is flatter compared to the other cross

As a whole  the cross is finer and the quality is better compared to the other cross

[Igor Ostapenko]

Thank You ! ?

[Igor Ostapenko]

I remember these crosses , some from Kuenker 

But usually we meet another type 

[Graf]

Hi Igor,

Both types have their own place in the collecting world

 

Cheers

[Igor Ostapenko]

Yes, of course . 
Your silver cross like this order 5 class ( from eMedals ) 

[Graf]

Yes Igor,

Thank you for the pictures i looked in my files for this Knight Cross I could not find it

I did not bid on this one

Frankly I do not bid on eMedals Auctions, since i found them a bit funny to say the least

 

Cheers

[Igor Ostapenko]

It’s not my Item, I have only pictures 

[Graf]

Hi Igor,

 

We do not expect all the posts to be with pictures from our collections

It will  be nice to have all those items

 

Cheers

[Igor Ostapenko]

Hi Peter, 

of course, it’s impossible to buy ALL  

 

I prefer to collect awards from Prince Alexander Battenberg period and ready to exchange another my Items for Items from 1880-1886 yy.
