      No diplomatic and/or consular mission of Austria-Hungary in Liberia but Liberia had 2 honorary consuls, one in Vienna and one in Budapest. Honorary consul is (usually) citizen of state in which he is carrying out his consular mission for the country which chose him. He enjoys only limited immunity concerning mostly protection of consular documents. He is not a public official of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, just normal citizens helping particular country in his homeland. It is usually a person of some influence and position (with money). In year 1918 there was Mr. Reinitz Julius (Hon. General Consul) in Vienna and Mr. Leitner Siegmund (Honorary Consul) in Budapest. I don´t know whether this helps anyhow.

      Thank you for your answer. Please accept my compliment

      Please enjoy my new "toy" below, although I think it should be released in the African region.

      In appearance, it looks like a badge of the Republic of Bulgaria. . .

      It's a pity that some of the red fruits have fallen. . I found that the orders made in France are like this, beautiful but fragile

    3. The order for Niger has been commissioned to manufacture in Guangdong Province, China. . It can also be purchased in China. . The price is very cheap, you can buy the highest level products for less than a hundred dollars, hope you see these words, don't get angry:banger:

      I personally would also prefer to wear the EK2 in the buttonhole and not on the medalbar. That underlines its high symbolic value.

      What do you guys think, was wearing it in the buttonhole only a transition period thing, until the medal bar was updated, or did some guys prefer to wear it that way without the intention to add it to the bar later?

      Maybe it's too late to update the new bar

      Maybe he did not want to redo his medal bar.

      Maybe you are right, sir. The Qing Empire died in 1912. So the EK2 on this photo can only be 1870. But I am curious as to why he did not have the Commemorative War Memorial Medal, the 100th anniversary medal of William I. . And other medals?

    5. Dear gentlemen, due to the recent virus in China, I have a lot of time to browse my album and found this picture, which was taken by a friend, but it is not comprehensive. . Only one half of this picture is the Liberian African rescue order received by Emperor Franz?If so, why did he get an order from a distant country that had nothing to do with the Austro-Hungarian Empire?1243470634_QQ20200221225629.jpg.f8da82d9091f3b20d8fd5be5c2dcd4cb.jpg1080485862_QQ20200221230456.thumb.jpg.51a91a6f8314ddd91992d7f209f89207.jpg

      And re the heading: Friedrich Franz IV was of course grandduke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, not of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (at least at the time of the pic, he was not - he ruled Mecklenburg-Strelitz only from February to November 1918, following the suicide of Adolf Friedrich IV). 

      Kind regards, 

      Sandro

      I wonder why he committed suicide?:(

      A great overview on the Baden awards, the most beautiful and interesting of all, with some not too common pieces! You do know two don't come with the proper ribbons, I assume? You can check ehrenzeichen-orden.de for the proper ribbons:

      New discovery! The Japanese also won this medal。His name is "Yatsushiro Rokuro"

    8. Dear gentlemen, I haven't published a new article in a long time. I'm really lazy. . On the night when a typhoon was approaching last year, I took this silver wedding commemorative medal full of unfortunate Prince Saxony-Coburg-Gotha Alfred.What I want to know now is, is my original medal box?As far as the material is concerned, does it look like a fake?As well as some views and wearing of medals. Please say what you think. Thank you

      Allow me to briefly explain why such a medal is called a 'cursed medal'. Prince Alfred became the Duke after inheriting the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha. He is the four children of Queen Victoria and the younger brother of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom. On January 23, 1874, he married the daughter of the Russian Tsar, but their marriage life was not happy. He has only one son and four daughters. (I have n’t found a picture of his son yet. If you have any trouble to show me, I think Europeans look similar and ca n’t tell them. For example, I often treat Bavarian regent Luther Pod and Ludwig III are confused ...)January 1899. The duke's only son shot and committed suicide on the day of his parents' silver wedding anniversary, but was unsuccessful. He was sent to a nursing home and died two weeks later (does anyone know how he died? Or did he shoot?) The Duke lost his only son, was particularly sad, and died a year later in 1900. Because of this unknown thing happened. . So call it the "Cursed Medal"

      I hope someone can read my article, even though it was translated with a translator:speechless:
