Description

The Grand Cross star of the Order of Military Merit is made from gilt silver and enamel. No maker mark.

Established on August 3, 1864, by Queen Isabella II as the Order of Military Merit, it has been amended many times (in 1918, 1926, 1931, 1938, 1942, 1976, 1995, 2003 and 2007). During the Spanish Civil War it was recognized by both sides of the conflict. Awarded originally in four classes, the order was reduced to two in 1995 and lost the rank of an order of merit. According to the current regulations the decoration is awarded in the following classes: Grand Cross - to generals, admirals or civilian personnel of equivalent rank; Cross - to other officers, non-commissioned ranks or equivalent civilian personnel. Multiple awards of each class and each category to the same individual are possible.

Elaborately made star in mint condition, from anywhere in between 1868 to 1931.
