The detail of the Siamese Order of the White Elephant is incredible, could you post a close-up? BTW what is the text the picture is taken on? Is it a set? regards David

Hi Wild Card Thanks for your quick reply. I dont know when these were issued though....would there be any additional data on the recipients to be found? e.g. in the Staatshandb?cher? Would there also be members who know about the GSSVM?

Hi I am looking for (preferably colour) pictures and other info (possibility of rolls existing) of the W?rttemberg Golden Civil Merit Medal and the Grandducal Sachson Civil Merit Medal. Dates I am interested in would both be pre 1880. Thanks a lot regards David

Hi Rick Would there be any von M?ldner , M?ldner or M?ldner von M?lnheim on the list? Thanks for checking regards David

Interesting! What kind of officials were there? are there any kind of rank-destinctions? regards David

To met it looks ike EK2 PJO neckbadge and star and SEHO2b (unsure)

Hi Rick Thank you for going into that so thoroughly. I hope you were not under the impression that the Gnome-job is an easy one.... I was just wondering, but now I fully understand why these kinds of change are not easy to research. regards David

Interesting...just out of curiousity is it because the rolls for the awards are not all there? I mean how many combo's could there be with the HHOX, MeckG3, OFJ and the Sachson combined? Are there to many candidates or is there another problem? Again I am not questioning your research ( who would dare to ) I am just wondering what the problem is in this specific case. Hope you forgive me David

A sure beauty. Has it been id'd yet? Regards David

I already found someone with the following Stammliste FR80 IR 82 IR 83 JB 11 So I am still looking for: HR 13 HR 14 AR 11 PB 11

I would read (lasst?) as lasse (comparing the e in the next words). For his name: What about Fridman-Dozewo

Hi For my research into kurhessian militairy officers, I am looking for the stammliste of the regiments listed above. Should you have one of them and be willing to help please post here and I will send you a PM (I don?t want to sell all my research for free at the forum ) Thanks in advance regards David

Hi I am looking for the career and award dates of Constantin Alexander Carl Wilhelm Christoph Maximilian Graf von Benckendorff. He was a Generalmajor and the IR Ambassador to Stuttgart untill around 1857. He died in paris 1858. Hope someone could help me out regards David

Hi Glenn Thanks for that. What would the abbreviation WV2 stand for? And what would the militairy equivalent of his medical rank be? Could you also tell me what the source is for the (second image) of full-career data? regards David

Hi I am looking for a scan of an entry of Heinrich Christian K?nig a former kurhessian in later (post 1866) prussian service, pensioned 1877 as Ober-Stabsarzt. Unfortunately there are no real hints as to the kind of prussian regiments he went into (most likely around Kassel, where he presumably died in 1886). His former Regiments in kurhessian service were the 2nd Husars and the Artillerie. In my list he is mentioned as in the 1. Infanterie-Regiment, whilst the source of Heinrich Christian K. does not mention this regiment, but is not at all complete for the remainder of his career, so I do have high hopes H.C.K. is still my unnamed recipient of the CHW4. Thanks a lot. regards David

Oh, That Is Just Terrible. No wonder that we could not find him any where else!! Another General... ..thanks a lot Regards David

Hi I checked SF and he did not become a General. Would there be a Stammliste on the FAR10?

Hi I am looking for the careerdetails of the Baden (later prussian) officer Karl Freiherr von Stetten. I have him as a Major in FAR 10 in 1874. I am looking for him because he will be in my publication regarding the kurhessian Wilhelmsorder. Thanks a lot regards David

Hi I am looking for the details of the career of the imperial russian General Aleksej Petr. (ovich??) Achmatoff (in various varieties) Would anyone be able to help me to it? Thanks a lot regards David

Hi! I am looking for some careerdates of a Generalmajor from Baden by the name of Freiherr von Roggenbach. Actually, I know he was Commandeur der Reiterei for some time. The thing is, I just don't know wheter it was Heinrich or Constantin Freiherr fon Roggenbach is the one I am looking for. I am guessing this could be in the Schr?der volumes, could anyone help me out here? Thanks!! regards David

Hi! (and thanks for calling me an expert ) Well indeed the 3rd and last Elector did not award any kind of campaign specific medals. However finding something just by excluding all other possibilities is never a conclusive methode in my opinion. Certainly as there does not seem to be any kind of other kurhessian medal (the only one eligible would be the 25 years service cross for officers) a kurhessian officer, however likely by the missing of other medals, could have only been a low-ranking one (pre-Major) who got into prussian service 1866. And most of them did. I will look up the specific numbers for you later today, but think in 80-100 from the top of my head. So kurhessian?: possible, however in my opinion an identification would not very likely to be made. should someone feel different about my ideas above, please don't hesitate to correct me David

Would the 1849 version be also the one which was handed to foreign troops aiding the Grandduke in his struggle, like prussian and a well.....kurhessians ?

So that's why it has 578 pages!!! Would anyone have a copy of this one?

Post erwartet. the brothers name is Arthur

To me it looks like 938 in mirror so 839 But I am no expert...
