    Grand Cross of the Romanian Crown


    Recommended Posts

    Hi all,

    Here's another piece I got ages ago (no I won't mention that magic number :P ). I keep hoping to find the case for it but that's beginning to feel like the impossible dream.

    I believe I paid around $200 to $250 for it and no idea what they're running nowadays. Yet another thing I haven't kept up with. Was a one time shot as I love the old Imperial Orders, yet they're generally way too expensive from say England. This was in my range at the time, looked great so I grabbed it. :P

    Lovely!!

    Little cute thing with only ages of wearing...

    Finding a box for this....

    can be really tricky and a long pain...

    Good work!!! Only $ 250,-

    Cheers

    Hi Jacky,

    Many thanks! :beer: But remember... that was twenty some odd years ago. I'm sure it's gone up a few cents since then. :rolleyes::P:cheeky::lol:

    Oh... 20 years....

    inflation of 4 percent each year....

    That would make 1,04^20 = 220% roughly

    So about $550,- nowadays...

    Still not a bad sale innit??

    Hi Jacky,

    Not too bad. Course it's one of those things I hope to never have to let go. I really love it! :love::love:

    Thanks! :cheers:

    Beautiful set, Dan :beer:

    Hi Gerd,

    Mucho thanks! And thanks again for the DDR goodies!!!! :love::love::love::love: I really love them all, and especially the sport with pendant and the full and half sized set of badges. Gonna have to find a case for those if there were any. I've seen the Soviet/DDR friendship badges in a matched set like that. Keeping my fingers crossed. Just great stuff. :jumping::jumping:

    Thanks!!!! :cheers:

    For those who may not have seen it yet, there is a delightful article in the January-February 2008 JOMSA: Charles H. Pankey and Dragos Baldescu, "Royal Romanian Order of the Crown (Ordinul Corona Romanie)," JOMSA 59, 1 (January-February 2008): 2-12.

    Just managed to add this... hoping to obtain the reverse medallion to bring it back to it's past glory:

    Hi Alex,

    Beautiful set! You might check with Kevin (Kev in Deva) as he sometimes runs across such things. I've wanted a case for my set ever since I got it (long before the net/forums) but unless God drops a miracle to me on that one I'm beginning to think I'll never find one at a price I can afford. Such things have gone so high since I got mine.

    I'll keep my eye out too. Hopefully some ribbons will turn up soon... would love to see you be able to complete your set.beer.gif
