Peter J Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 This one we refer to as the triple threat.One question, is the cross on the left a decoration awarded solely to females?cheersPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hello Peter J,To answer your question, according to Hessenthal/Schreiber - This decoration, the Honor Cross for the year 1870/71 was (translated) ?Founded by King Johann on 6 March 1871 for men, women and young ladies...?I hope that this information is helpful.Best wishes, Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinpon590 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Again, Oldenburg.Very nice ! And a rare one !! And, there is a more rare model, with a letter "E" on the oval's middle...Greetings Edited March 26, 2008 by pinpon590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitular Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very nice ! And a rare one !! And, there is a more rare model, with a letter "E" on the oval's middle...GreetingsI am sorry, but this information is not correct. The letter "E" ( for "Elisabeth"), 16 mm height, was not in the middle on the medal. It was only fixed with two splints on the ribbon of the award. As far as I know, there exists only a drawing of it, you can see in my book and find the original in my collection in the "Schlossmuseum Jever".Best regardsKapitular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Beautiful!! My cousin and I were at a show one time ten years back and I saw one with an EK2 and DRKm for $45. I didn't buy it as I thought it was some sort of 1870s commemorative. No knowledge=loss. Foolish, foolish ignorant me. It's the beautiful one that got away.Superb piece. Congrats!

It is, but sorry, nothing usefull on the back. The only thing we know is, that she lives in K?nigsberg. The picture came with a cross, but I?m afraid it is not hers, because of the different style of wearing the ribbon.Best regards, Komtur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
