    Description

    The Order of the Black Eagle was established by the Elector of the German state of
    Brandenburg
    in 1701.  He would soon become the first king of Prussia –
    Frederick
    the First.  The award was
    Prussia
    ’s highest.  The next lower award is the Red Eagle.
    The Order of the Black Eagle was both a military and a civil award.
    This beautiful replica is the breast star of the order.  It has the Prussian eagle in the medallion and the motto of the order, “Suum Cuique” – to each his own.
    Since the breast stars were made by jewelers, there were a number of variations.  My replica is a silver (plated) eight-pointed star with rays, a popular motif.
    It weighs 2.8 oz. (78 grams) and measures 9 cm across.
    It has a pin and catch mechanism very similar to the originals and the workmanship is superb.
