I don't know what kind of order this is but it is not an original MV-order! It seems to look similar with the compernsatory MV's given in the '90's to the knights that have loose or throw them away because of the communists! The same is available also for the "MV" posted previous by Claudiu1988 and mihai Make also your opinion.  This post has been edited by b737 on April 14, 2006 12:56 pm |

 Beside the crown differences, the order on the medal bar also appears to have a vitreous light-blue appearance, contrasting both to the appearance of the 'replacement badge' you have posted which has darker enamel, as well as to that of other 1916 badges of this order that have more 'opaque' enamels. This could be only a light effect, so I would like to hear your opinions as well. |

I don't know who has offered this pieces on ebay but if there were offered by the person that I have in my mind than it is normal that this pieces are fakes! He makes them!
On the Order bar all pieces are ok excepting the MV order! Regarding the enameling he is using a blank replacement MV and makes experiments with enamels!......it could be so,I don't know his techniques! This post has been edited by b737 on April 14, 2006 05:06 pm |

The hammer prices for the two items were 700 USD for the medal bar and 335 USD for the single MV badge.

 I think you will enjoy this one. 1916 Michael the Brave order on WW1 French mount. This order was worn with the bar and screw balls at the end of the bar that detach and did not come with a chain. This post has been edited by REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR on June 01, 2006 03:57 am |

 Here is an autograph signed photo of General Georgescu wearing this order with the French style bar mount. |

WWI badge of the Order of Michael the Brave belonging to Căpitan Chiriţescu Ştefan (from a link indicated by igor_ost)
 Note the later replacement of the surmounting crown. |

It's hard for me to formulate an opinion on the authenticity of this badge as I have not seen so many of these badges. But if you compare the surmounting crown in the photo above with that in the old photo of Capt. Chiriţescu (below) you would see that they are clearly different.  |
