Nice Taz. Thanks.
This Order could have been a really beautiful award. Imagine what the Imperial German, Russian, or Soviet jewelers could have made of this. Think of the enamel work and the multiple gold &/or silver parts. But what we get is a collective piece of diecast costume jewelery. :dissapoint
