[Old Braggs]

This group is still with 'the family' and they asked me not to put a name to it, but worth seeing anyway. Recipient was an Intelligence Officer in Russia during World War One.

Hallo Steve,

Beautiful Set, with a nice Romanian Order of the Star (1864) (Blue Cross) looks like a Knight, Military, 1st Model* but would need to see a close up front and rear to be sure.

*1st Models had nine rays between the limbs of the cross, probably in silver, and often not hall-marked, the reverse should have King Carol I cypher, which is two "C"s one inverted with a "I" in the centre.

Still its a fantastic set and thanks for sharing it with the Club

Glad to hear it is still with the family. Long may it remain so. Very very nice.

Whow...

What a fab group

But why did he split the russian awards??

I see a order of st vladimir 4th in the bar and the 3rd class besides it... His miniature bar had already been upgraded...

But next to the Chevalier d'Legion d'Honneur is a order of St Anne....

Besides the St Anne and St Vladimir a Knight of the order of the Star of romania.

Maybe anyone knows why he splitted both russian awards???

I thought the rules demanded that medals of the same country should be put besides each other in the order of that land....

Would like to hear,

Kind regards,

Jacky
