Would love to know the status of that

I was a married and a father aged 22. So it does happen

Yeah. Most of them were like Heinrich and Louis tho....unverheiratet. So we are just with a few of us now We might even be related 😅

Yeah I get that. But as 1812 ouverture has such a wide collection I tried my luck. Heinrich is from another branch of my Kassel originating family. My interest in phaleristics is a consequence of my genealogical hobby now over 25 years ago.

You wouldnt happen to have a photo of one Heinrich Müldner who was in Tsingtao at the time of WW1? Data below frok Tsingtao.info

Thanks Johan, great info

Thats the one! Would you happen to have a photo of it not being partly covered? I think its seriously one of the most beautiful medals. Was it for the 2nd marriage to Eleonore?

Hi I am looking for a picture of what I remember as being a hessian marriage medal.of Ernst Ludwig. Its roughly diamond shaped, topped by a crown? Wanted to show a friend but can find what I mean

Nice! Anything on his career?

There could not be to many RK's with the name Rolf I reckon....

Might be to early for these guys. Maybe try a museum.

Very true that it would take some time. I spent my hours commuting to browse in some of the ernestine duchies and the sachson kingdom in the years you describe in your first post and then looked up some of the names which came close on the internet for resemblance. No luck. The pictured person at first glance reminds me of the ultimate savoyan first minister before the war of italian unification. Can not remember his name tho. His collar could be a hint. Wouldnt it be usefull if there was a book on german collar embroidery of the various states in the 19th century. If only I had time 😊

Try the royal sachson staatshandücher to be found here http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Staatshandbuch#Sachsen.2C_K.C3.B6nigreich_.281806-1918.29 Probably the best thing to do is make a list of the scvo2b and the seho2b and cross-reference. Secondly you might be able to check with a belgian member for the BLGL3

Thats quick Glenn. Thanks 😊
