I was not aware of the rarity. There is aculally one currently for sale at a price of about 1.500 Euros. Thanks! -

Yes, his name was Lodder. He was Dutch. Very interesting indeed. Please let me know should you advance in your respective research. I understand that the merit cross ("Vasatecknet") was only awarded to foreigners. -
We can see a Prussian forrester of advanced aged in a group of his (former?) colleagues in the province of Hesse-Nassau. He wears a medal bar with two awards, the first one being with no doubt the Nassau Waterloo medal. The second is a mystery to me. The size hints to a Nassau life saving medal but it did not have a ribbon with stripses but an all red one. For illustration purposes only I also attach a similiar medal bar which lacks the second award.

The right one is the „golden“ cross but the gold plate is almost gone. -

The medal bar of a servant to Queen Emma who literally served her until the end. -

Hi maxblue, I do share your passion! Here is a very early piece I could recently acquire. It is by Bron whp produced only 40 pieces before he died. -

Order of the Oak Crown, silver medal

The excellent book stops with the medals awarded in 1890. Thus, it will not help Andreas.
