Today the postman brought this little beauty. An Crown Order 3rd Class in Gold, 2nd Modell with large Crown.
The seller didn't mention any makers mark but to my surprise i found the mark H&S on the cylindre. A mark that belongs to the company Humbert&Sohn that produced in Berlin from 1799 to approx. 1865.
I got the info from medalnets Homepage

1864 the crown order changed from the 1st modell (small crown) to the 2nd Modell (large crown). Humbert and Son stopped producing around 1865. So i guess my CO belonged to the 1st series of new made CO of the second modell. It must be very very rare with this special Makers Mark of a company that produced the 2nd Modell only for approx one year.
The box backes this theory. It has the old catch see pictures. I hope my analyzis is correct but if i overlooked something please gimme a hint.

Haynau
