Romanian Air Force Bravery/Merit Gold Cross with Swords (Type 2 1938) and Case of Issue. It is bronze gilt, approx. 43mm (width) x 51mm(height) with ribbon and in extremely fine condition. Case interior stamped “Monetaria Nationala” and “Virtutea Aeronautica Crucea de Aur”. No maker mark on badge. Ribbon is period piece that meets black light test (no glow under UV light). And is a 1938 pattern ribbon. I have also seen this ribbon used for the Order of the Crown 1938 Type 2 issue and. The more usually found ribbon especially pre-war medals has both white & gold stripes on either edge. The Order was established in July 1930 by Carol II and awarded to civilian and military air personnel and air cadets. The order was the fourth highest Military Award for Romanian Air Force personnel. It was also awarded to German Luftwaffe officers serving with Romanian Air Force during WW2. On 22 June 1931, crossed swords were added for wartime awards. The badge is based on the same design as the. Order of Michael the Brave. But with a small shield of the Lesser Coat of Arms in the middle of the badge. From my personal collection.
