Missing a stone on the tail on the right which can be replaced easily. The right rivet may have been tightened a bit, not a big deal. Make sure to test the stone before buying it they are real zircon not the synthetic stone that fakers use. A jeweller will also test the base metal be sure its silver 800 both eagle and wreath. At that price you dont want a fake.
Anything onncase top? Is the eagle is a 2 pieces construction? I would like to see better close crisp from the eagle head and stamps.
Lovely example but these have excellent copy

Thanks for the new pictures. I dont see any problem with this example. Excellent piece. The case is not a fit IMO. It look like a spain cross in gold case.

Thanks Sebas.
I liked it too, so therefore I already bought it:-)
The case is period but this one is definitely not for a spanish cross in gold.
Its a jeweler case with two hinges and marked / stamped on the back with initials MEE.....
As far as I know there are no cases available or known in which jeweler Rudolf Stubiger from Wien delivered his IMIT pieces...
Only the purple cases for the A- pieces Platinum are well known on the market...

Reason: additional info
Yes Its weird no case came with these imit. Ive been reseaching diamonds for years and i never see, heard or came across a case or packet for them. They should have something in which they came but sometimes i feel they only came in a paper wrap stack in a large carton box that was in Georing desk drawer and he just throw them at the recipient we may never know.
Case is good no doubt but indeed its look too large for a GSK.

That’s a awesome set you picked up...although I don’t have a lot of experience with diamond awards I like what I see.
The case is for sure a Spain Cross in Gold as you can clearly see its imprint in the felt...with that being said...I wonder if original owner won the gold Spain cross and later a p/o with diamonds.
?....a little research and you might be able to see who it was issued to...the p/o owner could have put the award in his Spain cross case for sure...just my opinion anyway.

Thanks but it is definately NOT a case for a spanish cross in gold... They dont have two hinges and the silk inside is not colored in "gold".
