Herr General

Very nice collection Matthijs!

Hi Erik, Ik wil make a scan in a few minutes. (I have to boot another computer for that!) I will also scan the documents. The table medal is for the "Nationaal fonds voor bijzondere nooden" and it show the Ridderzaal on the front. On the back it says "Tentoonstelling 1938 met dank aan C. H. Beekes"

Would you like a photo of the document to the Driver of Prins Bernhard? The later Prince of the Netherlands?

Interesting, I have a document from this club in my collection. It is from the Driver of Prins Bernhard from Lippe-Biesterfeld. He is made a member by him!

I think that the blooddonor medal belonged to the wife! Jacky, I bought this group from an antiek dealer. I emailed a contact at the Royal house Archive. Maybe he has some info!

Thanks everyone for the comments and information

The dutch medal was awarded 775 times. Does anyone have info about the other medals?

New in my collections are the decorations awarded to the personal lackey of Queen-Mother Emma of the Netherlands, his ceremonial sword, documents and photo's. Here are some photo's: The lackey received the following medals: Dutch - Silver wedding medal 1926 Waldeck Pyrmont - Merit medal in silver Luxembourg - Civil and Military merit medal in silver Belgium - Medal for foreign subjects in bronze

Here's a larger scan!

Untill this group arrives at my home I only have this small photo:

Dutch - Silver wedding medal 1926 Waldeck Pyrmont - Merit medal in silver Luxembourg - Civil and Military merit medal in silver Belgium - Medal for foreign subjects in bronze I also have the photo's, awards and sword of this Lackey

The Dutch high ranking Naziparty (NSB) official M.V.E.H.J.M. graaf (count) de Marchant et d'Ansembourg fought as an officer on the side of Germany during world war one. He received the Iron Cross first and Second Class. Does anyone know if he received any more awards?

Thanks Wilco, I have emailed the Dutch Navy Museum and the IVMH.

Found one more: Silver Medal of Military Valour, Italy - August 1919

I think you are right! I will try to make photo's within a few days. It is difficult because the document is framed by Jeffreys and I don't want to remove it from the frame.

Thanks all, I have his document for the Commander Dutch Order of Oranje Nassau with swords in my collection. His name is spelled Robin Edmund in this document.

Does anyone have information about the awards of Captain (Royal Navy) retd. Robin Edmund Jeffreys D.S.C? I know he received the Dutch Order of Oranje Nassau with swords on 12 december 1946

Nobody with info on this man?

Here is another interesting case: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1509...t=0&start=0

He received this award according to a document sold recently on ebay: Das Grosse Verdienstkruiz des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in 1963

I can't find any info on this man. Does anyone have a German "Who's Who" from the 60's?

Here's the photo.
