Original era manufacture. A very clean example of this beautiful enameled order. Silver construction with gilding on the rays and edging of the Pawlonia leaves, enameled details. It comes with a correct black lacquered issue case with a dark purple velvet lining. Very clean example with no damage. Light handling and wear. The differences between the 5th and 6th classes of this order are quite minor, basically the 5th class shows a gilded finish while the 6th is silver only. There is no question looking at this decoration that the metal parts have a gilded finish, it's gorgeous.
