Scalp hair has been absent since I was 20 ???

Why cant I grow a beard like that ?

I think so too. What about the rest of the ODM in the picture?

Because there is no grandcross, right?

I do believe the star of the HoH2a is sixpointed

Lovely photo

Such an amazing project to lift all these brave men from oblivion ?

Wouldnt it be nice and revealing to have had Stefan answer the question on him and about him, by himself? But still a great article

I am very curious where you came from all of a sudden as well. If you dont mind me saying: a series on Hannover without at least lists of names of recipients as the mere basis would be incomplete to the collecting community and useless for me personally Btw should you consider doing a series on kurhessen after your Hannover series, let me know. I have a great deal on this

Its beautiful, thanks Jens!

Hi! So what does the data on the CD look like? I have 1 EK2 recipient of the 1870s war I would like to know if he is on it: Secondelieutenant Louis Ernst Wilhelm Friedrich Müldner v. Mülnheim of GR 11

Yes there are. There is a book in dutch on this order with extensive lists. Its title: onderscheidingen van de koning-groothertog I dont own it

You do mean the right one, right, the left one just has 1 medal

Thanks

It has been a while. So I am trying this again....

So what medals do we see here?

Plus the centre of the medaillon appears to vaguely represent a vertical figure, just as is the case with the st. Henry order

Right. As I stated before ? Right. Thats what I said in my previous post. Well copied ?

No he was not because Bernard jr was born from a morganatic marriage as stated above.

Its somewhat more complicated than that. Bernhards parents marries morganatically. His mother was made a Countess of Biesterfeld at her wedding and both sons got their mothers name at birth. His mother and he and his brother Aschwin got the princely title in 1916 from his uncle the last reigning prince of Lippe-Detmold with the predicate of Durchlaucht. Subsequently at his wedding with Juliana he became HRH The Prince of the Netherlands. A Reichsfreiherr was made by the HRR emperor before the desolution of the empire in 1806. A Freiherr was made by any other kind of german souvereign at any given point in history before 1918. Barons were used mainly by the baltic germans and often had a russian or swedish grant as origin. To make things easier, in some periodes of time Baron used to be the speakingtitle for a Freiherr

Fürst is the title of the head of a house whereof the younger members are either princes or counts. E.g. Fürst Bismarck, other members are of comital rank; Fürst zu Sayn-W-H, younger members are princes. All depends on how, when and through whom the title of Fürst was initially acquired, either with primogenitur or not

Where is Duingi?

Its about a case he worked on. Ibviously a murdercase in Celle which ended in 3 executions

I still think the crown on the marriage medal is one of the finest I have ever seen

Makes a lot more sense, thanks ?
