Opinions please

[Hannibal]

Dear Imperial collectors

I just received this knight's cross 1st class with swords of the order of White falcon. I would really appreciated if you can give me you opinions on this cross. Thanks in advance.

Best regards

WOW!

Outstanding! It's real, it's right and you now own one of less than 1500 awarded. Very hard to find the first class with swords. The enamels look in superb condition and the ribbon is spot-on as well. NICE ONE!

[Hannibal]

Thank you

Dear Stogieman

Many thanks to your reply, now I feel much better.

Best regards

Hannibal,

I just have one RK 2. Kl. in silver... but yours looks really to be a fine piece. Is it gold or just silver gilted gold?

Ciao,

Claudio

Dear Claudio

Thank you for your kind words, mine is a silver gilted piece. Would you mind to show us your RK 2nd class please?

Best regards

Hannibal,

My cross is with my brother Marco.. I'll have to ask him for the pics.

I have seen a beautiful one, RK 1. Kl., entirely gold being sold by Kalies about 2-3 weeks ago for Eur 1'600.- It was a real beauty. I just waited to much before deciding myself to buy it and he sold it to a lucky collector. Golden White-Falcon orders are really scarce especially the 1. Kl. in real gold and upwards... I noticed that also the prices in the last magnificent mother of all Kube's auctions there were 3 of them (2 Komturkreuzen, neck order and a 1st class) in gold! All of them were sold really good... No chance for me.

Ciao,
