Red Eagle 4th Class, 1830 Pattern

[ERIC LIN]

Dear all

Just met this one, not sure if it is original.
The case looks early pattern, but not sure about the cross
Any comments are welcome. thanks

more detail about the cross

[streptile]

These are difficult and specialized pieces, and heavily faked. The case in that set is doubtless good but the RAO4 is not the type I believe to be authentic.

Hi streptile

thanks for your comments, the case to me looks good too, just not sure about the cross.

thanks again

Here is an original from Bretzendorfer.

You can clearly see the differences.
