Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Germany, Prussia, Order of the Red Eagle, First Class neck badge, by Georg Humbert & Söhne, Berlin, 60mm, gold and enamel, maker’s mark ‘H&S’ to rim of central medallion, with full neck riband, minor enamel chipping to reverse in two places, otherwise extremely fine £2,600-£3,000

Note: Normally the First Class insignia of the Order of the Red Eagle comprises a sash badge and breast star, but if the recipient is already in possession of the (more senior) Order of the Black Eagle, and is not in possession of a Prussian neck decoration, then they will receive the Order of the Red Eagle as a neck decoration, without breast star.
