    Mistery etui, Who can identify it?

    Dear Imperialoids,

    Together with my Verdienstkreuz für Frauen und Jungfrauen 1870 I got an etui, which is evidently not for this cross (see Bavarian style king's crown).

    The sizes are :

    Width : 110.83 mm (12 cm)
    Length : 134. 22 mm (13,5 cm)
    Heigth : 43.19 mm ( 4.5 cm)

    I would really appreciate your comments on it. Thank you very much in advance!

    Ciao,

    Claudio

        Looks like it was made for some kind of "Steckkreuz" with a gap for the pinback.

            Last shot. This is interesting: you can see the "shadow" of a medal (probably steckkreuz or breast star , like Jens said) which has been stored during many years in this case. If you look closely it seems almost like the Belgian Crown Order. Is that possible? The five points shaped cross you can almost detect looks like that...

            I am clueless... heeeeelp!!!

              Can you see the pattern in the cover!!!!!!! It looks like one of the rare 1914 Steckkreuze like Reuss or Weimer-Eisenach!

                Jens,

                I wish it was a case for such rare Steckkreuze... but I don't think so. What I can see it's a five pointed crosses with malta crosses like shaped arms and centered medallion with a crown. From the picture I posted you can barely see it.

                Ciao,

                  etui

                  The crown on the case is Belgian and the imprint is the Belgian Order of the Crown.One of those "buy me for a euro" type orders.

                    grand officer

                    hello, it's the case of the grand officer of the order of the crown. Stevenn if you have one for one euro, I'll take it!

                      This is the proper case for the Verdeinstkreuz. It measures 3 5/8/x5 3/8 in and is covered with a reddish brown morocco leather.

                        It has an odd shaped depression to accomodate the ring and pin.

                          so the Cross sits like this.
