Laurentius, Swords on top of the cross were peacetime awards, swords through the cross were wartime awards. Regards, Graham

Laurentius, Some info on this website: http://www.omsa.org/files/jomsa_arch/Splits/1999/151153_JOMSA_Vol50_1_19.pdf

Thank you Enzo.

Maybe a Herzogtum Nassau: Silver Military Merit Medal:

Thanks Ian. I think the first medal on the left would be an Order of the Sacred Treasure(not sure which of the eight classes it is) and the second is the 1894-95 Sino-Japanese war medal.

Peter, The last medal on the right looks like an Austrian Merit Cross with crown, although the ribbon is interesting.

Elmar, thanks for this information.

CRBeery, Thanks. Wow a significant difference. Could be a great find!!!! I know in the websites below they only have the first design shown. https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/tapferkeitsmedaille-1915.html https://web.archive.org/web/20080218080348/http://home.att.net/~david.danner/militaria/altenburg.htm

CRBeery, Do you have a picture of the front of the medal?

I agree with Demir about the neck order. The 'Breast Star' looks like : The Order of Osmanieh, Grand Cross Star without swords

Ravenft, Here is something that may help:

Picked this one up recently. The Silver Medal of Honor with war decoration for ladies:
