Prussia Award and Document Red Eagle Order 4th Class Carl Friedrich Rohte

This is a very fine example of the Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class and its award document (Urkunde) from Prussia.

The Red Eagle Order is a complete family of decorations, containing breast stars, neck orders, and ribboned medals.

Our example includes an ornate document dated 22 August 1907 and made out to a Carl Friedrich Rohte. It is signed by the Ordens Kanzler. This is a civil, and not a military, award.

Three additional documents relating to the decoration’s award and other decorations that he received are included, such as the transmittal letters, etc.

The decoration itself comes on a very short ribbon. The decoration’s only flaw is a chip to its hand-painted center.
