St. Henry Order, Knight

[Stogieman]

Thanks to a fellow Forum Member this little gem is on its’ way! Now, have to find a case to keep it in.

[VtwinVince]

Congrats, enamel looks pretty nice on that one.

[Stogieman]

There’s some minor chips in the green but I’m still pleased, almost impossible to find anymore. The hunt is on for a case!

This piece definetely deserves better pictures.

Congratulation. Is it stamped with "S" in the lower cross arm?

Hi Alex, not sure if there’s a Scharffenburg mark but this mark is on the suspension ring, hopefully I can make sense of it when it gets here next week.

I’ll be looking for the S when it arrives!

[Stogieman]

No S punch on the bottom arm, just the silber punch in the suspension ring. Maybe Roessner?

Does anyone have access to Nimmergut? I’d like to check dimensions

- A model by Scharffenberg, (S mark), 54,4 x 38,4 mm, 22 g. :

 

 

 

 

 

My own cross is a supposed Scharffenberg made, 54,1 x 38,6 mm, 24,4g...

I have 37.5mmx57mm, no scale to weigh it on but I might be able to visit the local coin shop and ask him to weigh it

[Mike Huxley]

Great find Stogie, well done

[Stogieman]

Does anyone know where I could find an Osang case? I’ve handled plenty of Scharffenburg cases over the years but I don’t remember ever having one that had an Osang label on it!

[Deruelle]

Never seen in private collection. For the moment.

 

I have seen a Roesner once, that's all.I am looking for a nice Roesner knight cross with its case.

 

[Stogieman]

Hi Christophe! I hope you find one! These have become incredibly scarce and I’m surprised at the values, my first one was a cased Scharffenburg and I bought it from Detlev for $800 usd. I agonized for weeks over it but it was just too special to pass up. I’ve surfed the web for awhile now and the only one who seems to have had a steady supply is eMedals but many of the pieces Barry has sold are not ones I’d want in my collection. I’m visiting a fellow collector in October, he has a gold ca. 1870 RK that I’m hoping to see again. It’s so beautiful and different with the fixed crown. Looking forward to that trip!
