Really Old Decorations

Postby medalnet » Mon May 21, 2012 12:56 pm

Another feast for the eye are the following two neck badges. Both from around 1830 can be used as prime examples of the fine workmanship that can be observed during this period. We have here a commander cross of the Hessian Ludwig order as well as a Austrian 2nd class badge of the Iron Crown, 2nd type.

Beauties! Although I have to admit to being partial to the Iron Crown awards. :)
