Bayern MVK 1st Model

[Heran]

Hi all,

This is my latest acquisition, a Bayerisches Militärverdienstkreuz, first Model (1866 - 1905) marked in the ring with AH for Adam Hausinger. Then the business went in 1876 to Julius Elchinger and in 1892/3 to the Gebruder Hemmerle (still on business with the name Hemmerle).

The swords were allowed to be worn after the modification in the orden regulation in 1891. These Sowrds here were attached (when?) the other way around.

Still, a really nice cross.

Best Regards

Very interesting piece, congratulations

Where is the ribbon ring in the first photo? Is it just hidden?

Hi Trevor,

Thanks for your comment.

It is just hidden. And now with the ribbon, it will look much better.

Best Regards
