Prussian Red Eagle Order

[Henke]

Hi all!

Can anyone help me with this order, Im told that its 4th class. But shouldnt 4th class have a crown on the cross as well?

Also does anyone know if this order is copied or if this is the real deal?

Cheers!
Henke

I am no expert on these but to me it looks like a perfectly
fine RAO4 and with the mini and the box it makes a great set.

Hi Henke,

I agree with Greg. To get one of these with the case is nice; but to get one with the case and outer carton is a very rare opportunity.

With regard to your question about the crown - these crosses were awarded with combinations of swords and crowns as well as plain like yours. Have you checked it for hallmarks?

From what I see, this is darned nice - congratulations!

Best wishes,

It would also appear to date from after they went to the pebbled arms but before they dropped the "h" in Rother-Adler.

Hi again all!

Thank you for the information. I didnt really want to say to much since the piece wasnt mine. But now i bought it so now I can really say that its mine

Does anyone have an age to the order?

Tjenare,

Såg den där på Tradera igår, la den i minneslistan men så glömde jag bort att bjuda på den idag.

Riktigt fint set till ett förmånligt pris ! Bara att gratulera.
Selin är en bra handlare också så det är inga konstigheter.

Hi henke, congratulations

when i look at the jpg's names i read tradera. Does this mean we all have to look at the swedish ebay-version tradera in the future aswell to get so beautifull awards?

Haha I bet you were Henke ! Great buy for sure !


Tradera mostly contain crap when it comes to medals and orders, so this was a rare "bird" to see there !

[Henke]

DavidB - Just for fun, how much where you prepared to bid? My max would have been somewhere at 3300-3500:- ....I think...

haynau - Yeah it was at an online auction, for once it was just not garbage there and I even got it for a nice price . Make sure to get some swedish friends to bid for you at tradera if you ever see anything you want. I got a few ones I help out with that.

And when I get the order in my hand I take some photos for myself, haha =)

Henke,
Here are some RAO minis that might interest you.

[Henke]

Well Im really not that much into miniatures, just that this one happaned to come with one

But always nice to see some pictures, thank you!

Well Im really not that much into miniatures, ...

Hi Henke,

It is not my place to tell someone what to collect and not collect; but I cannot resist mentioning that as I said before “To get one of these with the case is nice; but to get one with the case and outer carton is a very rare opportunity”, and I should have included the mini, so I just wanted to advise you to hold on to the mini - it looks like a nice one.

Best wishes,

[Henke]

I will hold on to this mini for sure

But I do wonder if they came together to start with. Since I dont hold the order in my hand yet its hard to say really. But from what I can tell the mini is a Godet made one and the design of the eagle seems to be a bit diffrent if you compare it with the order. So not sure these one was bought at the same time.

But it will be easier to say when I finally get it in my hand

[gregM]

I agree with WC. They make a great set.

You gotta love the detail of these tiny beauties
