AUSTRIA / SAXONY – ORDER OF THE RED EAGLE 4th CLASS.

This is the final version of the Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class, which was awarded from 1879 to 1918. It can be confirmed to be the final version by the cross’s pebbled arms. The cross’s obverse features a Red Eagle painted upon a white enamel background that is centered within a circular frame. Its reverse features Friedrich Wilhelm’s royal cypher “FW” in raised relief on its metal center.

Its jump ring displays an orange and white tri-fold ribbon. The latter tells us that the decoration quite possibly was awarded to either a Saxon or an Austrian. The decoration is in very fine condition.

    BAVARIA – MILITARY MERIT CROSS – 3rd CLASS WITH SWORDS – ORIGINAL PRESENTATION CASE

    This is a Military Merit Cross with Swords from Bavaria. The decoration was first instituted in 1866 during König Ludwig II’s reign. It was awarded to military personnel during peacetime and wartime.

    It was awarded in three classes: without swords, with swords, or with swords and a crown (as a higher award-level).

    This particular example features a burnished gilt finish. The cross measures 1 3/4″ x 1 ½.” Attached to its top is a pair of crossed swords. The cross’s obverse sports Bavarian König Ludwig II’s cypher in its center.

    The cross’s reverse displays a rampant Bavarian Lion and 1866, the year the decoration was instituted.

    Accompanying the cross is its original presentation case, which measures 3 ½” x 2 ½” x 3/4.” The case is covered in light-blue leatherette. Its name and its decoration class are embossed in silver on its outer lid. Inside the case’s upper lid is a white, silk liner. Its Munich manufacturing firm’s name (Gebrüder Hemerle) is embossed on the white silk. A strap is present in the upper lid to hold the decoration, but no ribbon is at hand. The case’s lower half is velvet, fitted to hold the decoration in place.

    It is a fine decoration from a noted Bavarian manufacturer.

  • BAVARIA – RIBBON FOR A UNIFORM FOR 1914 IRON CROSS 2nd CLASS AND MILITARY MERIT CROSS 3rd CLASS WITH SWORDS

    SKU: 15-611

    $50.00

    When I began the description of this item, I was unsure in which category to place it. While it is a decoration’s ribbon for, it also is a decoration’s ribbon that was specially cut for wearing in a tunic’s buttonhole. The ribbon was sewn into the tunic buttonhole to show that the man wearing it had won both the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class and the Bavarian Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with Swords.
    It could really dress up your tunic!
