And the reverse of both medals. The F.S. Star has a space in the centre for the engraving of the recipient`s rank, name and date of award. Greetings eitze

Very interesting thread. I can contribute the "Order of the Black Star of Benin" - Knight`s Cross and award document. Here?s the order and the miniature:

Thank you Rick Unfortunately I`ve got no documents. It is a bad situation for the Waldeck-Collector - all war decorations during WW-I came WITHOUT award documents. They only got an entry in the Military Papers and that`s it. So nothing to collect for that period. And all documents before 1914 are very rare AND expensive. Greetings eitze

Fellow Gentlemen, just found this fine thread about the decorations of Waldeck-Pyrmont. I would like to add some pieces of my collection as well; perhaps it will be of interest of some of you Let`s start with the Silver Merit Medals with Swords. The left is a silvered piece, while the right is a silver one.

As far as I can see it looks like a non-combattant ribbon bar. OK it could be for a medic, but ... All surviving soldiers of the Peking defenders were awarded the Prussian Military Decoration 1. class, bar one exception: Seesoldat Horn got the golden "Milit?rverdienstkreuz". Got a list with all names of the 1-4 company of the III. Seebataillon under Count von Soden. So if you got a single China-Denkm?nze or on a single ribbon bar with the clasp "Peking", it might be OK. But on a big medalbar you should find the above mentioned decoration. That`s the way I see it. For the gentlemen a single medal from my collection. Sorry for the bad picture; it`s right from my hard drive. Greetings eitze
