    It seems they did have some unnumbered ones in store.

    Here´s one being sold in the Finnish net auction site. My friend said the price would probably reach as high as 5,000 Euros or more. Now it´s 2,800 Euros with some two weeks until the end of bidding.

    Looks really nice but....

    No surprise here, it's rare and very much demanded. Is it gold by the way?

    The cross is based on black and white enamel with the other parts made of gold.

    All right, so rare, beautiful, valuable and much demanded, not to mention the historical aspect, it will probably be more than 5000 euros then
