      I don't know the answer to your question, 1812 Overture, but Luxembourg is not part of Central Europe as generally understood. You will find all the Luxembourg questions posted in the Northern and Baltic States sub-Forum and will have a good chance of getting the information you seek, there. 

      Good luck with your search for an answer.

      Thanks for your advice. I have used the search function before, I opened it in a recent post from me, and the display is in this section. I also think that Luxembourg belongs to Western Europe, and many Chinese people think so. and so,. . .

    2. First of all, I want to congratulate you on winning this rare medal! This was the favorite of the Emperor Franz, Maximilian, who was awarded as an emperor in Mexico. Unfortunately, the emperor who had only been a short time was shot by the Mexican revolutionaries. I can give you a photo as a reference.

      Some people have obtained the order of the Virgin of Guadalupe in the Mexican Empire.

      Dear Sir, I also saw this auction today, which has medals I like. I also saw this book, but he only sent Germany. I have found that sellers in Germany and Austria often only send their own country, and although I like them the most, their service attitude often makes me sad. On the contrary, Slovenia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the former Austrian-Hungarian constituent countries have a much better service attitude, and there are very few cases where there is no reply to the mail.:)

      They are all correct. There are 2 bust types for Oscar II the bust right is the first 1872 to circa 1900 the other is the circa 1900-05. I suspect there is a second variety of the older bust 1906-07 without Norwegian title. They are medals of the Swedish patriotic society which give awards for various meritorious services and have various ribbons depending on the issue. They are officially . The first reverse is for long and faithful service, the second for loyalty and fidelity. There are many varieties of these medals dating back to the 18th century. They are an inexpensive collecting theme for tbe silver medals, the rarer gold medals are more expensive but rarely more than gold value

      Thank you friends, your answer has solved most of my problems. But I want to see the photos of the winners. . I think this medal is very similar to the Russian medal of Nicholas II. I don't know how to call him, it looks a bit like an Olympic medal. .

    5. Dear friends, I ordered two Swedish medals from a friend yesterday. However, when I checked the information, I didn't find any relevant information. I only found similar information, so I would like to ask, what is the full name of this medal? "Royal Patriotic Service Medal"? Why do I see that there is a sale, the face of the medal is to the right, and the one in my hand is to the left?

      Although he looks worse, there is no hook. . .

      They are all Oscar II medals. . Which one is correct? I know that there are many medals in the Kingdom of Sweden that are not officially issued.

      Kind regards
      Andreas

      Dear friend, thank you very much for your help. So is this medal rare? Do you know the price?

    7. Gentlemen, I won this medal by chance during the Chinese New Year. I only know that he is Saxony, maybe it is the Saxon-Coburg-Godda Principality? Because I turned over the information I could find, there was only a medal similar to me on Emedal. So I want to ask everyone to help me see, this is the medal of the period, I have never seen him in the order bar. It is large and heavy. Is this privately cast? Please tell us what you think, thank you.

      Why is it the opposite, do you know why? In addition, I want to get a photo of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Franz Josef. Thank you

      Awww. That is the problem with hook back bars. :(

       

      Still, the regiment is not in doubt.

      Dear Sirs, please allow me to re-enable this theme. I want to know which foreigners are involved in the Franz Joseph Silver Jubilee Celebration? Did you have photos at that time? I have seen a Japanese officer who won this medal. Do you think this medal is rare? The price of bronze, how many euros?

      Rommel's Savoy Order

      On 20/01/2019 at 07:10, 922F said:

      You may be correct E, however, Busch & Röll [Der U-Boot-Krieg 1939–1945 — Die Ritterkreuzträger der U-Boot-Waffe von September 1939 bis Mai 1945] list Military Order of Savoy Commander's Cross (7 November 1941) but not a Maurice & Lazarus of any grade.  One might think he would have had M & L but given the Military Order of Savoy's higher prestige/rank would expect that’s the one he would wear. 

      Busch & Röll may be incomplete.  In the 1980's a Bulgarian report on King Boris' funeral indicated that both Dönitz & Keitel received a Bulgarian star & sash set before the ceremonies.  Do not remember exactly what decoration or if this is reported/verified elsewhere.  Given their ranks would expect probably St. Alexander GC or lst class but who knows if this account is accurate or the actual award.   If true then Dönitz could have also had a Maurice & Lazarus commander, if not Grand Cross.

      A few years ago I saw an auction of the photo of Boris III's funeral on ebay. I saved his picture. Although I like it very much, I don't have the money to buy him. I hope these pictures can help you, even though they have sellers' doodles.
