graham Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 A 4th Class Prussian Order of the Crown with swords, unmarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 These are a brutal minefield of fakery. Can you post an image of the barrel from the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackcowboyBS Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I have to agree with VtwinVince, there is much fakery around these sword orders. But I can't say anything about your piece, so I am interessted to listen to the professional prussian collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks Graham, are those swords two-piece hollow construction or solid? So far I'm not getting a good feeling about this piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 OK, it could be a period Spangenstueck or a genuine 4th class which has been pimped up, but it certainly is not an award piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 Vince, Thanks. I purchased it at a Thies auction back in 2017. Good learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
