China General Munthe - adventurer, art collector, Chinese medal designer?

In case anyone's missed it, here's a link to the topic in the Northern European section.

We're still searching for evidence that it was Munthe who helped design some of the orders of the Early Republic 1912-28.

For an extraordinary image (among others) of Munthe's original Republican plumed kepi, see Vikingcommander's great website.

There wouldn't be more than a handful of these hats left in the world I'd wager.
