Yes it is nice 5th Class Cross Austrian made in the beginning of last century Prince//King Ferdinand period

War time awarded with swords in the middle

Usually they are silver made -marked or unmarked If it is made by  Shield the mark will be on the ribbon ring

Price 150-180 Euro

 

Cheers

I may have a different opinion on this, I don't think it's made from Scheid, Because the last letter of the Order of Alexander produced by the manufacturer Scheid takes on the typical shape of the number "8". But the last letter shown in this topic does not have such characteristics. But in terms of manufacturing time, I think it may have come from the First World War, but it was not made by Scheid but from other manufacturers, possibly Bulgaria’s own manufacturers.

Hi Steve It is made by Austrian maker. As you noticed it might be not Shield

The cross is typical Austrian made During Prince/King Ferdinand all Royal Bulgarian Orders were made mainly in Austria and smaller numbers in France There are single numbers made by Swiss or Hungarian makers King Ferdinand was not keen any Orders to be made by Bulgarian Makers He was crazy about quality.
