[eindecker2]

Got photos of this stunning Order of the Teutonic Knights - AKA Order of the Marion Cross.
Your opinions on the cross and its value also apreciated.

the enamel is flawless....

Eindecker,
The cross and ribbon are IMHO, very real. Beautiful piece. There appear to be some markings (maker, content?) on the ring. Can you give us a close up of these markings? Most of these I have seen are cased, is there a case?

When I held it there were two marks on the ring, but I could not make them out - one is either 800 or 900?? Dont know - what is the value on one of these as I am looing to buy it. Sadly - no case...

Hi Charles, greetings from vienna. It's a beautifull mariannerkreuz before 1918 made maybe by Rothe. enamel seems to be intact. the ribbon is correct. the older ones from the 1870ies have a total black ribbon.i would spend up to 160 USD if i really wanted to have it right NOW. otherwise i would wait to get it a bit cheaper and maybe cased.
