    rujab,

    That is a beautiful and certainly unique chain. Surely it must be identifiable. The Hussein 1904 arts and science medal is the classic example of the art deco theme that we see in several other Hussein medals of that era. This influence is no doubt reflective of the Hussein royal family’s well known dedication (to this day) to the arts.

    One question - am i Seeing two Philip’s Order crosses there?

    Finally, please don’t think that your other minis in posts #248 and #249 are not appreciated. Since I, for one, will probably never see the full size version of these medals, it is nice to see them as such well done minis.

    Regards,

    Wild Card

    No order, only two small decorations for long service - but for me the golden one never seen before... Does anyone of you have a golden one, too, and would show me for comparison? Thx

    regards

    Not what it appears to be (Prussian long service cross) at first glance. Actually this is a Hessen-Kassel 25 year long service cross for officers.

    These crosses were awarded from 1849 to 1866, so there are not many of them around; and this is is the only mini of this award that I can

    recall having ever seen.

    Are you sure this is from Kassel?

    From here, it looks like a dark blue ribbon and a "III." below the "FW", while the Kassel cross had a purple (or red) with yellow ribbon - and a "FW I." cypher.

    You are 100% correct! I realized when I bought the set that the ribbon on the mini was wrong, but attributed this to age...

    Here is what we should be seeing , correct ribbon and all -
