Item Overview
Description:
An Order of Saint Anne Military Division in gold, by Albert Keibel. The order is made of gold with four red enameled arms and four swords. This order is made with 4 handle parts of swords as opposed to 2 handles and 2 blades. This item was put together incorrectly by the jeweler who manufactured it and is an interesting example of a manufacturing error.
Hallmark: 56 gold proof on the loop. Cyrillic letters 'BA' on the bottom arm of the cross, underneath red enamel, as well as Eduard.
Russia, ca. 1900.
Footnote: The Imperial Order of Saint Anna was a Holstein ducal and then Russian imperial order of chivalry. It was established by Karl Friedrich, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp, on 14 February 1735, in honor of his wife Anna Petrovna, daughter of Peter the Great of Russia.
