      Unfortunately not.

      A nice large mounted photograph of Maercker and some members of his Freiwilliges Landesjaegerkorps.

      Thank you Odulf, I have taken your advice and just ordered it. I do already own his book on Luxembourg. I understand that the author is active on GMIC so maybe he might consider enlightening us?

      Thank you, Odulf! The recipient received the award in 1931. The Begeer marks look somehow different to me: http://university.langantiques.com/index.php/Begeer,_C.J._Jewelry_Maker's_Mark Someone suggested it could be the year letter "B" but to me these also have a differrrent appearance.

      It is "Frhr (Freiherr=Baron) von Ziegesar". Kurt Freiherr von Ziegesar (1885-1914) died as commander of SMS S 116 after it was sunk by HMS E 9.

      Could someone be so kind as to identify the (maker’s?) mark on this officer’s cross of the Order of Orange-Nassau for me? It looks like “(.B.)” to me.

      The highest number issued was LXV (65 years in service) to Prince Frederik of The Netherlands.

      Thank you for your quick help, Paul! I really appreciate it.

      Please find attached two examples for 1. 20 years (1844 model) 2. 40 years (1866 model) The second piece was produced by the widow Moussault (Amsterdam). Given that it can only have been made between 1866 and 1869 there should not be too many around. Has anyone information about rarity and prices?

      Thanks, Pieter! However, these seem to be larger than the "normal size" miniatures. As you can see, such a model would not really fit...

      The term "coins and medals" does in this context indeed only refer to numismatic items and not to awards or decorations. Otherwise they would speak of "orders and medals".

      The second to last picture shows Ensign Charles Ewart of the Royal North British Dragoons (Scots Greys) presenting the regimental eagle of the 45e Régiment de Ligne (45th Regiment of the Line) he captured.

      A huge re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo took place in the same Belgian fields where Napoleon's army was defeated, 200 years ago. Though I could not see a single of the 7.000 Nassauers, the allies managed to win without them. See some pictures attached.

      "VON MARÉES"?
    20. saxcob
      Actually there were more than 7.000 Nassauers (193 officers and 6.832 men) at Waterloo.

      Miniatures of the first (West-)German ambassador to Norway (about 1956). Since he had jewish ancestors he had to leave the diplomatic service in 1935 and was reactivated in 1951.
