This cased Order of the Crown Grand Cross is now on sale on ebay:
eBay  It is my impression that the breaststar of the order is fake. It looks suspiciously new. There are some obvious differences betweetn this breaststar and the others i've seen so far. The most striking is the missing holes in the crown on the center medallion. The enamel is also different.  There is also a difference in the arms of the cross:   The neck badge seems good. Ofcourse, I may be wrong and this is a variant that i've never seen. So, what do you think? Peace! -------------------- ~

Is clealy there are major fabric diferens between them, the golden border for example is thicker, see below. And why reason would they have to build an other matrice for the respective medal? A good dexplication can the fact that the "fake" one it was build later, who knows for what reason.

Also on eBay is this Knight's Cross of the Order of the Crown of Romania. The swords seem to have a peculiar appearance.

The reverse of the swords seems to be completely flat.

In my humble opinion the breast star could be okay. There were a lot of manufacturers who had different enamel or dies . So I think it's not appropriate to consider that there is just one model , an all the others types should be the same.

Different constructors build the same medal? Even on different matrices? That sounds strange, for example when they made coins it was done in the same fabric.

Why do yo say that it's sounds strange????It was normal that orders where made by more than one manufacture !!!! For example , the order of the crown was made by: - Resch and sons in Bukarest - Heinrich Weiss in Bukarest - Zimmermann in Pforzheim-Germany -and from a lot of small manufactures (ceaprazarii ) |

You can't compare the orders manufacturing with the coins stricking. There is no resemblance. The orders manufacturing is related rather to the jewellery then the coins stricking. |

Resch did indeed make both first and second type badges of the Order of the Crown.
Did Weiss and Zimmermann manufacure first type badges?
Did they? Do you have any reference for this? |

Yes,H.Weiss made both models from this order! If Zimmermann have made also the first type?I dont't know! The initial question was if this order was made from more than one manufacture! I know from a good friend of mine , who's interest is more the historical orders documentation,that this small manufactures(ceaprazarii),have made also this order.You will find a lot of "strange looking" and unmarked pieces wich are NO FAKES,they were only made by this small manufactures!!!! I saw pieces made by: - Depozitul Decomed - Croitoria si ceaprazaria militara "La Principele Bibescu" - Carniol/Radivon..... And I have forget to mention the .....Monetaria Nationala (national mint)!!!!!! |
