What do you think about this badge of the Order of the Star? Does it look as if it has a modern cross, a 1930s-40s central medallion and a Krétly(?) crown?

You have right, the cross is new, the central medallion and the crown are old!!!! Compare it with the following picture from a new breaststar (great officer). Attached Image  |

From what I can see it is the Comandor class from the time of Carol I.

Maybe the crown is from that period, but the rest is definitely not. |

This one is a genuine commodore "Star of Romania" , model 2 , war type (with swords) . You can compare them.

This reverse looks to me like the communist "Star". The same cuts... It seems they have the same "meshteri" This post has been edited by aviatiadasenzatia on November 23, 2004 09:38 pm |
