No kidding, those minis just made my day.

Thanks guys! Will get better pics some day, ones in post 86 hurts my eyes.

No idea of maker exept that it came with the W-marked F&J, non com KDM and case. Think it matches the 2 minis below.

And another

[Roglebk]

Thanks Guys! Here's some new pics of the W-marked. Need to decrease the aperture (make it smaller) or raise the cross more vertical, crown is out of focus.

Roglebk,

Unfortunately this is one of those awards that cannot be fully appreciated until one has the opportunity to see (and hold) it first hand; but your two pictures in post #99 do the best job that I have ever seen in conveying their beauty.

Thank you,

Wild Card

[Roglebk]

Thanks Wild Card, i'm blushing! Here's another one, sadly some enamel damage but stunning patina. This is my 6th cross and 5th version, so far found 10 versions but some of them might be reworked dies or wear.

Great shots of one of the most beautiful Imperial awards.
