Possible Godet 1914 EKII?

[Tiger 1]

Robert,

Don't worry about it. The only stupid questions are the ones that are not asked.

All the best,

Tony

I believe this is another states cross, a Bavarian MVK 3rd class. Pretty common but nice, especially in the case.

[Steve Campbell]

Sorry here it is.

Sorry Don,

Stupid questions don't merit answers. I went back into the Imperial section and read the history of the Prussian overthrow/uniting of the various German States up to the French declaration of war against Prussia in 1870 for Prussia's 'expansionists policies.' From what you were previously saying the German States united in 1870 to form a 'confederation of States', yet all having their own awards for their own State's troops. And as a whole the EKII was once again reinstituted as a Prussian award in 1870. And the same again in 1914. I have a lot to learn of their history. I'm sure in collecting the awards I will continue to learn the history as well.

Thank you,
Robert

Not a stupid question. Most people don't know that Germany is a relatively new nation compared to the rest of Europe.

Thank you, Don.

Steve, I had one of these cased awards with swords and crown years ago. They are very nice. Isn't there a silver and gold version/grades also to the same award?

Robert, I believe there are at least 3 classes of this award,

Yes, w/o swords, w/swords and w/swds. and crown. But wasn't there also brnz., silver and gold grades of this award also, or am I thinking of another?
