Württemberg, Ritterkreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwertern des Friedrichs-Ordens in sehr schönem Zustand. Material des Kreuzes Silber, die echt goldenen Schwerter mit Scharnieren an dem Kreuz befestigt. Die weisse Emaille ohne irgendwelche Verluste. Die echt goldenen Chiffren auf Vorder- und Rückseite vollständig und ohne Verformungen. Aus der Fertigung des württembergischen Hofjuweliers Wennberg und für den Krieg 1870/1871 verliehen und damit sehr selten.

King Wilhelm I. of Wuerttemberg issued the Fredrick Order in memory of his father on January 1, 1830. The order was split into 4 classes on January 3, 1856. Swords for awards for bravery were added September 19, 1870, together with splitting up the knight cross class in a 1st and 2nd.

The order was manufactured by Court Jeweler Friedrich Steinam until 1886, Court Jeweler Eduard Foehr from 1886 to 1916, The Kings Mint between 1915 to 1918, Jeweler Otto Wennberg during 1903/04 and 1914/15 (knight’s crosses 1st and 2d class only), Court Jeweler Carl Zinser for 1914 (knight’s crosses 1st class only) and the Jeweler Berg and Cie for one Grand Cross set.
