Here are a few more miniatures. Unfortunately not identified, but should be possible. Except for the two piece bar, that one is definitly not ID:able.

I think the cap on the photo looks more like a french cap than an italian one.

The text that Igor wrote in Cyrillic is something like this: 1st Dragoon Regiment, Eduard Frentzel, Ober-Jäger Second Lieutenant so the name of the recipient of your cross should be Eduard Frentzel

FYI That is not a complete list of Liberty Cross awards to Kgl. Sächs. Karabinier. Regt. There were at least 22 crosses and two Liberty medals awarded.

Thanks! I have updated it now. I only learned basic school german many years ago of which I remember very little. Our substitute teacher didn't speak german so we watched Das Boot (with Swedish subtitles) several times instead of learning the language.

That happy day has already come! It's sad that Rick didn't get to see it... Here is the list: Egenutgivna böcker - Medalj-forskning.se There will also be lists of Swedish recipients of the cross of Liberty 1918 and German recipients of 1941-1944.

Here is another un-ID:able minibar. Order of Wasa and two shooting medals. And a tiny miniatyre Wasa-Order. It´s only 8mm wide. Notice the tiny drops of white enamel in the crown...

There were only 240 silver medals awarded in 1942 so it might be possible to narrow it down....

It is a very nice book with alot of information and photos! I highly recommend it for everyone interested in medals and orders from Belgium! How many copies did you print?

1. Commemorative medal of the king and queens gold wedding anniversary 1907 - 460 awarded 2. Commemorative medal of king Oscar II 25 year rule (light blue = for guests) 1897 - 232 awarded 3. Commemorative medal of king Gustaf V 70th birhtday 1928 - 916 awarded

Here is a small contribution from my collection (sorry for the bad pics). I hope it´s ok to post it even though it only has very little german enamel. The medalbar of Carl Axel Brolén (1845-1939), teacher of the future king of Sweden, Gustaf V. Unfortunately the North Star Order is still missing. But once completed the bar should look like this. Except that the North Star should be made of gold and be the old type with the big crown.

Here is a quite simple one but the police medal (last place) is not seen very often.

As far as I´ve been told: no, there is currently not possible to research these. But who knows what hides in the archives to be found in the future....

Here are two pictures I found with a google search.

Here is the book with a list of German recipients of the Libertycross and Libertymedal. Frihetskors till Tyskar 1918 - Medalj-forskning.se

Here is another ribbon bar to a woman. The first medal is unfortunately missing.

The precedence of the orders points towards a Spanish recipient. But there are a few questions that remain. The Falcon order is the pre 1944 version and only two spanish recipients got the knight cross of type 1. The Spanish order don't look as old as the others? Or am I fooled by the photos? It the Danish Order of Kristian X type? Does it look like there has been more miniatures before the Spanish one? It appears to be some black thread on the back of the ribbon.

Here is a nice set with both full-size and miniatures. There MIGHT be a SMALL possibility to ID the owner, or at least narrow it down. I will hopefully get access to the roll over awarder civil defence medals for 1942 (it's hallmarked silver) within a few weeks. Then I need to get the list of Vasa medals for 1955 to cross-check against.

Amazing! Thank you very much! I would never had been able to get all that information on my own. So he was a Feldwebel in the Luftwaffe and stationed at first a flight school and then a sea rescue team who rescued downed pilots? I wonder why he got the Finnish medal, perhaps he rescued the pilot of a downed Finnish aircraft?

Today I got a few documents from the Bundesarchiv for free. Does this mean he was stationed at a Flight-school in Pütnitz between 1939 and 1944? Can someone help me to understand this document? My german is too basic to understand much more than he was born in Kiel and served as a Feldwebel.

How do you do this? Have you made a database with recipients of medals and type in the different awards and it spits out a name or how does it work? The reason I ask is because I have some plans of a database like that for Swedish medals and orders.

Here is a miniature bar that I am uncertain of its originality. There were only about 20 Swedish volunteers in Royal Air Force and as far as I have found only one person received these medals: Ulf "Chris" Christiernsson The only error is that his red cross medal should be with king Gustaf V not Gustaf VI Adolf... So I am not convinced about the originality of the bar. Swedish Red Cross medal "För fötjänster om den frivilliga sjukvården" The 1939-1945 Star The Aircrew Europe Star The Africa Star The Italy Star The War Medal 1939-1945

von Wegerer got the Swedish Order of the Sword, knight 1st class as major on August 21st 1913 according to the roll.

Here we have a really nice piece with a miniature of Litteris et Artibus medal:

I don't know if these have been shown here before:
