Red Eagle

Your star reminds me strongly of new productions of the company Steinhauer & Lueck.

I would like to show you a handwritten awarddocument to the honour cross 1. class with the crown of the Principality of Reuss.

The designation "Liebden" is to be seen rather as an old "intimate" designation of humans, who enjoy high reputation. It does not concern thus a name.

The text:

"Euer Liebden verleihe Ich hiermit Mein Ehrenkreuz 1. Kl. mit der Krone, welches nebst einem Exemplar des Ordensstatuts mitfolgt.

Schloss Osterstein am 18. Juni 1886."

The signer is Heinrich XIV, prince v. Reuss recent line, regent 1867-1908.

I?am looking for a photopostcard of Konrad v. Gossler, General der Infanterie, Kommandeur des VI. Reservecorps in 1917.

It can be a link in the internet.

Thx

Not really an award, but a rare and very nice "iron cross" with diamonds....

Opened hinge of the needle with a mark.

Due to the few awards it is one of the rarest medals of Prussia and the rarest in my Collection.

Wagner manufactured this order from 1883 to 1918. Since the cross and the swords were manufactured in gold, production is to be excluded after 1916.
