    1. the miniature group with the waldeck and golden lion of nassau is also very nice, the golden lion was not awarded a lot.
    2. Hi Clauduis, Thanks for your reply, I'll try to make some better pictures and sort out provenance, then I'll report back here. Tim
    3. A friend of mine suggested that the black cushion could have been on the coffin during the funeral, any thoughts of that being possible ?
    4. Hello Gentleman, Let see if I can wake this tread up a bit. Yesterday I bought the following group of medals, they were found in a small castle in the Netherlands (story to be confirmed) I was told that the castle needed to be cleaned out after the last inhabitant died, the furniture was auctioned of and the medals were found by the people who cleaned if afterwarts in and old blanket chest in the attic..almost a to good to be true story... but.. The medals are placed on the cushion by means of safety pins, except for the iron cross 1st and the wounded badge. when I first saw te pictures I had to search a bit to find out the first one is a rare Waldeck medal, I collect orders from Netherlands and Belgium, so this is not really my cup of thea.. but.. it's interesting, or shal i say intriguing... the fact they are mounted on this cushion, and also that it seems to be a real group of one person which was cherished in a way. Did the owner died because the medals ar not Mounted together ? Elsewhere I read the Waldeck medal was awarded 73 times so would it perhaps be possible to put a name with this group of medals ? Lots of questions and I hope one of you can help me in my search.. Tim
    5. again a big thanks, I had no idea that "fake" or private orders existed in such a way and that there are so many. So what I suspected is true, it's a non official Italian order which has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of my small collection, any idea of people collect these ? and if the set does have some value at all ? I probably would prefer to sell this set and spend some money on items which do fit in my collection. Tim
    6. wow.. Iam impressed, I have spend a lot of time trying to find out about it's origin but no result, many thanks, any idea about size of this order, were there many people involved in this order ? Tim
    7. Hello All, I have this set in my collection for a while now and a German seller (Andre Huesken) says it's the "Ordine dell’Aquila Estense" however when searching on this name I find lots of pictures and descriptions different then my set, so if anybody has more information I'd be happy to know, It might even not be Italian at all, I think it might be Polish, there ar eno Hallmarks, so no help there. Regards, Tim
