Interesting lot to the Kgl. Preuss. Kommerzienrat Victor Ludwig Wrede (1818-1890 in Berlin) who was owner of various sugger-factories and founding member in 1870 of the Red Cross together with H. Dumont in Genva.

On offer are 2 of his minichains and a box full ofhis ribbonbars and lapelbows in the next Zeige auction on the 15th March 2008.

First chain with 14 decorations:

Second chain with an additional turkish Medije

and the Box with ribbonbars, lapelbows and single ribbons

[Stogieman]

Yes... and of course it's all been split up into different lots.

[Christian L]

yes, all separate lots.

but thats not all of his stuff - in the next Medalhouse auction on 29th March 2008 will be his medalbar. And a special attention should be put on the 2nd to last decoration - Belgian Red Cross Medal which is engraved "Wrede".

Perhaps someone will be able to reunite them, as it is a very important historical and also rare grouping (only 163 times was the Oldenburg Red Cross decoration awarded!)
