And at last, I present you the Anniversary-Cup from Ulrich Freiherr von Sell, owned by his son. I found it somewhere in Berlin.

But I take only the photographies. Look at the right side of the photo. The cup is still in his family.

Now, I think this is the end of this little story. But for me, it was a treasure hunter story!

For more photos, look at the end in my Ordensjournal 21.

And now, I got the Gorgo-Cup too.

Now I got the original case for the Gorgo-Badge:

And the case:

This croos must be awared rund up to 1932/33:

My old pictures are lost, so I send new ones:

Not really rare, but not common, especially with his box : HE3X

Here his twin...

The reverse:

Now, I got my own Gorgo-Badge:

Welcome back Claudio, was nice to meet you on the SDA Meeting.

Booth ribbons are okay.

This question, I ask to the Ordenskanzlei in the Bundespräsidialkanzlei.

But they dont have a answer for this question.

We know that this ribbon was issued. But we dont know some about an official reason.

Looks similar with a Bender piece, too.

You you have look for the number of this cross?

In my opinion, this cross was made by Bender.

Actual price in the Bender shop: 16,80 Euro

Its not an issued piece, because only St&L pieces be awarded actually.

Sorry, but I dont like this cross, too.

On my Website http://www.ordensmuseum.de , I add a rare award document and some new award numbers of the communal orders of the FRG.

Red, I can only read a little German and the article looks very interesting. If I may ask a few questions:

1. What was the award criteria?

2. How many were awarded?

3. Is there an award document?

4. What was Wilhelm's title on the document?

I am curious how the Wilhelm was addressed after he abdicated. Was he still address as his royale highness?

I want to answer your questions, so good as I can in my restricted english.

1. Every member of thr D.A.G. (Doorner Arbeistgemeinschaft) was awarded. The award criteria was only the membership.

2. This badge was 19 times awarded. Ca. 25 times manufactured.

3. Normaly the members dont receive an award document. They receive the badge from Wilhelm II. directly. But I know one time, where the member dont receive this memberbadge direct. In this case he receive an award document. I show it in the attachments.

4. Wilhelm dont wrote his titel in the document. Her only wrote "Ich". His sign was Wilhelm J.R.

All people call Wilhelm II. "Seine Majestät der Kaiser".

During my research in the GStA PK, I came across to a nearly unknown badge, which was awarded by Wilhelm II in his exile.

Since this badge has not yet been published extensively, I have written an article (yes in german language, sorry) about it, to show the Gorgo-Badge in public.

If you interest in the Gorgo-Badge look to my article on my website:

Incidentally, that ribbon with the metallic thread looks a bit like the Princely Hohenzollern Carl Anton medal ribbon

with the colors reversed.

Hmmm, yes, looks like a smaller ribbon version from the Bene Merenti Order neck ribbon.

The company's name in the spell "Gebr. Godet & Co." I can verifyed from the year 1931 on, but not before.
