The Chain, gilt Silver, one side enameled, 12 enameled medallions, 475×15 mm.; the Badge, gilt Silver, both sides enameled, 66×44 mm. original suspension ring. The Order of Ferdinand I was instituted on May 10th, 1929, to the everlasting memory of King Ferdinand I, the founder of the nation, for merit in uniting all Romanians in a single state. The order could be awarded only to Romanian Citizens, for outstanding merits in the national union. The order was closed by law no. 12 on February 18th, 1937. The decoration of the order displays a special form combining four joined ciphers of King Ferdinand (double F). Maybe the rarest Romanian collar, of the highest jeweler`s quality, very elegant and in pefect condition! I RR!
