Christian, wonderful examples and nice to see the cases! Years ago, when nobody seemed to care about Austrian ODM, I put together quite the collection of Austrian. I only purchased boxed and cased pieces. From jubilee medals all the way up to Leopold and Iron Crown Orders. Unfortunately, I’ve lost my archives of photos, so I have no images to share. Serious bummer! I must have had at one point about 50 different pieces!! I always found them to be interesting and beautiful. You simply couldn’t argue with Austrian enamel!

Just for your interest in cases. I add some pics of a "Silbernes Verdienstkreuz":
