Herr General

Jozsef Foherczeg was a Hungarian Prince or General I believe... The named a ship after him according to google.

Does anyone now how many silver medal of merits from Waldeck-Pyrmont where awarded?

Good question! Ofcourse it is impossible to replace such an item. I'm still looking at different options to insure my collection..

no one with an idea?

I have a medal group with a German medal in it. I would like to insure my medals. What would be a fair assessment for this group?

Netherlands - remembrance medal 1926 - awarded 775 times - with document

Waldeck-Pyrmont - silver medal of merit - with document - with document

Luxembourg - silver medal in the civil and military merit order

Belgium - bronze medal for foreign servants - - with document

Included in the group is a photo of the recipient, a lackey at the dutch court.

Hallo Gents

With regards Lebanese medals this one is turning up on Irish Medal bars belonging to UNIFIL veterans, all though I expect its unofficial and wont be found on a serving Irish soldiers medal bar.

LEBANESE ARMY MILITARY MERIT, III CLASS

This medal (wissam es salaam) is turning up in Dutch medal groups also!

I agree with Rick, but I rather see the price go up by a few bucks then the information being lost forever....

In 1996 Sotheby's sold the Dickin medal to the dog Ricky. Does anyone have a catalogue from that time? I'm looking for images of the group!

The same as this houseorder in my collection. Only then in white with the dutch flag in the ribbon.

Do you have a name? Maybe I can find some info!

Great group!

Great, could we see the rest of the group?

There not Dutch in my opinion!

Thanks for your reply! Very helpfull!

I have to find a list with Dutch state visits to see what is lying more close together. Luxembourg or Liberia and if there is a visit from England and Liberia close to this visit!

Are there any Dutch persons in the Rolls?

1 of al 5, but I have to wait untill the prices are set. I a still a student and my income is variable

I will pm you the email adres of a lady at the archive of the Buchenwald memorial. She has helped me in the past.

FWIW, I don't think that the ribbons in question are British, because the UK doesn't put rosettes on their ribbons. And UK ribbons are wider than the standard width for DUtch ribbons. Also, the Royal Victorian Order ribbon is a much darker blue than the ribbon in the photo and, as has already been suggested, the Order of St Michael & St George is primarily awarded for services in the Commonwealth, e.g. to officials in overseas territories.

The rosettes make me think that these ribbons are likely to come from a continental European country. Or might they not be from private organisations? Have you checked out Erik Muller's Nederlandse Ritterorden en Onderscheidingen website? He has a dozen pages of Dutch and Dutch-related ribbons there. The URL is www.onderscheidingen.nl.

Hi Arthur, thanks for your reply. I do think that the first is the Royal Victorian Order. Inside the rosette you can see the real color. The rosettes are added by the Dutch firm van Wielick. They do this with every foreign order Officers class. The have ribbons made specialy for themselfs. A few of the Dutch Ribbons are very discolered by the sun. I think that this is also the case with the RVO.

There is a Dutch Royal jubilie medal in the row. So i'm thinking adjudant to the Queen during some state visites... I know of a few other RVO's awarded bye the Queen in Holland.

I know it seemed familiar, check this one and tell me what you think:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_St_M...l_and_St_George

Could be, but isn't this a Order only awarder to members of the Commenwealth?

In the last row,

Royal Victorian Order from England ?

Unknown

Military and Civil order of Alphonse Nassau from Luxemburg?

Can anyone help me?

What a great find!
