Serbian Order of St. Sava 1st Type Commander Cross from Baltic War Period

This is a first type (second design) of the Order of St. Sava's Commander Cross medal in silver with enamel from the Baltic War period. The medal shows a portrait of St. Sava, an important cultural and religious figure in Serbian history, and reads 1883 on reverse. St. Sava's robes are pictured as red on the first type medal, and then changed to green from 1914 on. This medal is part of a grouping that came to us all at once and are assumed to have been all awarded to one individual at the same time. The medal comes with a striped silk ribbon that is not attached.

Circa 1912-1914.

Medal measures 48 mm by 42 mm; ribbon is 16-1/4" long by 2-1/8" wide.

Silver and enamel.

Suspension ring is missing.

This is from a foreign militaria collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VHEX10 LCGEX5/10 SAGEX9/11

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): Medal is in great shape with slight spots of tarnish but the crown normally at the top of medal and suspension ring for ribbon are missing; ribbon is quite worn.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
