jeffskea Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I just picked up this very nice chromolithograph in excellent condition showing 33 beautiful pictures of the German State Orders. I'm not too familiar with German Imperial awards but this seems to be a very complete display of them. The Orders are extremely detailed with rich silver/gold/coloured paint. I will post a better picture once I have my camera. It has 'Bibliographisches Institut in Leipzig' on the bottom centre of the paper with 'Meyers Konx-Lexikon, 5. Aufl' on the bottom left of the paper and 'Zum Artikel >> Orden <<' bottom right. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 This once was part of an encyclopedia containing 3 of these plates: Orden I = Orden der Deutschen Staaten Orden II = Ausserdeutsche Staaten Europas Orden III = Aussereuropäische Staaten There are more of these coloured plates around, also from other encyclopedea.

Signalcorps45 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Speedytop, I got these also, I thought they were very detailed. Realistically, I would never own most of these orders, so the next best thing is to have these chromolithographs. Nice find..... Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
