Extraordinary pictures! Thanks for sharing.

It's a little hard to tell from the photos but most of these appear quite genuine although you would want to inspect the Double Dragons very closely given the quality of the reproductions being made these days.

How much for a Double Dragon star and that cased Striped Tiger (1st or 2nd Class?)?

hello drclaw This is not my store, and many of them are sold. The most important thing is that I suggest you go to Beijing to buy

The roof of the museum is a bookstore and coffee shop. It's more fun!

On April 16, 1882 at Altenburg, Princess Marine Anne of Saxe-Altenburg married Georg, Hereditary Prince of Lippe-Schaumburg. He was the eldest son of Adolf I, Prince of Lippe-Schaumburg, and succeeded as Prince of Lippe-Schaumburg in 1893.

1864.3.14-1918.5.3

On the occasion of their silver wedding anniversary in 1907, Emperor Wilhelm II presented to Georg and Marie Anne the family ancestral seat, Schaumburg Castle. The castle had been controlled by the Hohenzollerns ever since Georg's grandfather sided with the Austrians in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War.The gift was also meant to be in recognition of Georg's support in the dispute over the succession to the Lippe-Detmold throne.

The school was closed on the day I went to school. I didn't open the door. I was really happy. A hundred years later, he was still a school. He was not destroyed, but he was burned in 1947.

Oh! scared me

In the distance is the largest Catholic church in Qingdao. Later, I will introduce him. He appeared after 1930 and was designed by Germans.

There is an art school at the foot of the mountain，SO. . .

This building was originally used by Germans to observe fires, but with the construction of the city, he withdrew from the stage of history.

At the foot of the governor’s office in Germany, I’ll introduce him later.

Seeing that there are people like it, I feel relieved and have the motivation to continue to update!

Here is the back of China Ocean University, Germany's Bismarck Barracks is at the foot of the mountain, there are traces of the barracks during the Qing Dynasty. The distant red sphere of the mountain is the famous Signal Hill.

The castle-like house on the right side of the picture is the weather station of the German Navy. It is now occupied by the army and cannot be freely entered.

Here is the park now, so he was destroyed

My collection is very rare

Hochzeitserinnerungsmedaille

Wedding Commemorative Medal

Hochzeitserinnerungsmedaille was instituted on April 19, 1894 by Ernst Ludwig Karl Albrecht Wilhelm von Hessen und bei Rhein (25.11.1868-09.10.1937), the last Grand Duke of Hesse to commemorate his nuptials with Victoria Melita von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha (25.11.1876-02.03.1936), granddaughter of Queen Victoria and Russian Emperor Alexander II. Solemn ceremony was held the same day at Ehrenburg Palace in Coburg. That wedding was an event that brought together Queen Victoria and her descendants from across Europe, including the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), Tsesarevich Nicholas (soon-to-be Emperor Nicholas II) and German Emperor Wilhelm II. The wedding also attended by royalty from Portugal, Belgium, Greece and other countries was actually the last visit by the aging queen to Germany.

However, the marriage turned a failure and lasted only seven years. Grand Duchess consort of Hesse and by Rhein Victoria scandalized European royal families when she officially divorced her husband on December 21, 1901 on grounds of “invincible mutual antipathy” by a special verdict of the Supreme Court of Hesse. Three years later, on February 02, 1905 Ernst Ludwig remarried to Eleonore Ernestine Marie Prinzessin zu Solms-Hohensolms-Lich (17.09.1871-16.11.1937).

Totally 562 medals were issued on April 19, 1894. It was conferred on Court officials, officers and guests who attended the wedding ceremony in Coburg.

Design of Hochzeitserinnerungsmedaille was elaborated by the famous private Berlin-based company of Otto Oertel that was founded in 1887. 

An obverse with raised border showed conjoined busts of the Ernst Ludwig and Victoria Melita facing left (or right in heraldic perspective) circumscribed with an inscription in capital letters “Ersnt Ludwig Grossherzog Victoria Melita Grossherzogin v. Hessen”. The legend was separated with a small five-point star at the bottom. At its base the obverse was signed in capital letters: “Oertel Berlin-Tauer Dir”. German medalist Arthur Tauer was the owner of the Oertel company in 1908-1912.

A reverse with raised border showed entwined angulate ciphers of the royal couple, “EL” and “VM” topped with the crown of the Grand Duchy. Surface of each letter was covered with numerous horizontal incisions. An inscription in capital letters “Joined in Holy Wedlock on April 19, 1894” (“Vermæhlt am 19.April 1894”) was running in semi-circle at the bottom of a reverse. At its base the reverse was signed in capital letters: “Starck Sc.[ulpsit] E.Deitenbeck Fec.[it]”, meaning “engraved by Starck, executed by E.Deitenbeck”. Both Constantin Starck (02.03.1866-22.08.1939) and Ernst Deitenbeck (23.12.1868-?) worked with the Oertel company as engravers and medalists. The later filled that post in 1889-1897.

Circular medal measuring 33 mm in diameter and weighing 17,5 g was made of silver.

Hochzeitserinnerungsmedaille was worn on the left side of the chest suspended from a white silk ribbon with two wide red stripes at edges.

Welcome to GMIC, 1812 Overture. I am sure that you are going to enjoy this site as much as we will enjoy your postings.

May I ask what was the occasion when you and your friends were wearing these uniforms, and where?

Thank you for your reply. The first three photos were taken in Beijing. On the first week of each week in December, we will hold such an event in Beijing, and there will be military collectors in various countries. Behind me was a film shoot in Shanghai. I'm very glad to meet you. I don't know if I can't open this site someday, so I cherish every opportunity.

Not updated regularly, everyone is welcome to add photos, thank you very much

Bismarck Fort, now Qingdao Hill

Photo just taken today

Unfortunately, it was closed for several years and it is said that in order to better display

At present, only this replica of the artillery is left.

Due to the closure of the project, I was able to show the floor plan to everyone outside

This is a photo I took when I was gathering with friends. For security reasons, some of my badges were fake. Hats and belts are original. My clothes are made by myself. The degree of restoration is not good.

The party we attended did not include original badges to avoid unnecessary damage.
