Buttons, buttons, buttons...Lippe-Detmold

[Solomon]

Hi gents,

I recently got a number of buttons for lackey uniforms...all related to the principality Lippe-Detmold.

Some buttons I was able to identify, for some I´m still looking for information.

First of all I will show the unknown ones, of course all related to Lippe-Detmold showing its Imperial heraldic signs in different variations:

This one shows the heraldic sign of Lippe-Detmold unitl 1687 (although the backside is much younger) !!!!

This one belongs to Prince (Friedrich) Leopold III, ruling 1851-1875:

This one belongs to Prince Woldemar (1875-1895)

This one belongs to Grafregent Ernst (1897-1904):

And finally these ones belong to Prince Leopold IV (1905-1918):

I hope you like these small fellows

Any comment is welcome...

Very Interesting , Lippe Detmold was a singular State among the the others that confederated into the German Empire.

Hello,

very nice and interesting! 

If you are in to buttons, and interested to swap, please let me know.

Sorry, I forgot to state that I am not able to id the buttons you showed.

No,no...I got the buttons by accident...but they are a nice addon to my Lippe-collection.
Before getting these buttons, I even had no idea about their variety...Lippe-detmold used to be one of the smallest principalities
of Imperial Germany.

That is probably the reason why I don't have any in my button collection... (lol!!) ;-)

You did well, enjoy.

I neglected my button collection for some while and most contacts....

But I 'll try to find some help for you.

There is a guy called himself "button guru" living on Malta I think, who happen to have a button forum on facebook, but I am not on facebook....

I was in touch with him directly, but lost his details...

I found him on facebook, thanks for the hint...I will try over there.

His name is Denis Darmanin.

Best regards
