    Description

    The
    Prussian
    Order of the Red Eagle
    (Rot
    er Adlerorden
    ) was awarded to both soldiers & civilians, to recognize valor, excellence and  long and faithful service.
    This is the
    1st Class grade of the order, a silver (plated) , eight-pointed breast star worn on the left chest. It was awarded to general officers, high nobility, and heads of foreign states.
    The swords indicate distinction in wartime.
    This is a beautiful replica of the badge.  It weighs 2.8 oz. (80 grams) and measures 9 cm across.  It has a pin and catch mechanism very similar to the originals and the workmanship is superb.
