Hi avensis2000

After getting some help on this and another forum (thanks Claudius), I've found it's a Grand Commander's cross. A really good book for these awards is Friedhelm Beyreiss's book Der Hausorden und die tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Großherzogtum Oldenburg 1813-1918.

Very nice display Mike, and very nice cross, avensis. If I branched out of Prussia I would look into one of these; I find them among the most beautiful of the States' awards.

Here's my new one - arrived last week - Hausorden von Herzog Peter Friedrich Ludwig, knight, 2nd class, with crown, without swords


One thing troubling me - I havent seen before those "golden fittings" in the enamel before and the picture in overall is a little bit different looking than "normally". At least if compared to picture below with swords and other ones I have seen before...
