(x) Germany, Baden, Order of Berthold I, Commander's Star by L. Bertsch, Karlsruhe, 90mm, gold, silver-gilt, silver and enamel, maker's name to reverse, extremely fine and a great rarity

The Order of Berthold I existed between 1896-1918, being bestowed exceedingly sparingly. Nimmergut (Deutsche Orden und Ehrenzeichen, Volume I, p.83) notes that he had not seen an example, but that it was known they were manufactured by Ludwig Bertsch.
