[medalnet]

On May 24, 2006, the following order disappeared after it had been sold for 9,500 ? at auction in London at Morton & Eden in association with Sotheby's:

661 Germany, Prussia, Order of the Red Eagle, Civil Division, Non-Christian issue (post 1861), Third Class breast badge, in silver, with gold and enamel centre, 51 mm, extremely fine and extremely rare Estimate - 2000-3000 ?

I will have very detailed pictures in a few days showing every detail there is. The accurate weight is also availiable.

The order can be easily identified. I have only known of 2 remaining examples.

Any help you may be able to provide will be appreciated.

Probably just not put back in the proper place after the sale. The main thing is that it was found.
