    18.5mm miniature Order of the Crown '1st model', which class?

    Found this very nicely manufactured mini but which class is it? Is there any way of telling the class of KO minis at all exept for the non enamelled 4th class?

    What a fantastic cross (mini)!

    With minis, there is no way to tell if it is 1st, 2nd or 3rd class unless it has the red cross on it, in which it would be a 3rd class.

            Nice one. Carl.

            So now it's minis, too? Not just Prinzens?

            Look out

                Thanks Chris, as i suspected. An attached ribbon bow would make it a 3rd class as well i guess.

                Very nice 4th class Alik! Looks like the same maker as mine.

                  Here's one you missed or maybe it's just not made well enough.

                        The manufacturing of a Mini K

                        Got the mini yesterday and it's made of the following pieces/material.

                        Ribbonring, Gold. It is split and works as a spring loaded ring. Can be attached and taken off very easy.

                        Jumpring, Gold

                        Enamelled cross, gilded Silver (or bronze). The enamelled cross is made of 2 parts, front and back and then solded together.

                        "Engraved inlay" inside the enamel, Gold

                        Blue enamelled rings with writing, Gold

                        Center discs with crown and cyphers, die stamped in gilded Silver (or Bronze).

                        This means that the cross is a '6 parts' made one, 2 enamelled sides soldered together with inlays in Gold. The inlays are engraved, that's why they have to be made of Gold and not gilded metal, engraving would ruin the gilding. 2 die stamped center discs are then attached to the back and front using the 2 Blue enamelled Gold rings. Pics coming up to better illustrate this.

                        When considering that the size is 18,5mm one can only imagine the work put into this mini.

                          Enamelled cross, gilded Silver. The enamelled cross is made of 2 parts, front and back and then soldered together.

                          "Engraved inlay", inside the enamel, is part of the cross and therefore gilded Silver. It had to be engraved before the gilding was done.

                          Center discs with crown and cyphers, die stamped in gilded Silver or Bronze.
