Hi everybody
This is my first post here, I was away from collecting for a while and now I'm back and was told this is the
place to be. Lots of familiar faces here.
Anyway, the order I love the most is the Order of the White Falcon but I don't know too much about it.
The only reference I have is the Dave Danner amazing and helpful site.
So if possible I'd like to know some more details about this order, for example :
- How many awards issued from each class ( even just an estimate or just the known ones ) ?
- What's the difference between the commander 1st class cross and the commander cross ?
- Any images of of the medals ( any class in any variation will be highly appriciated).
- More reference sites/books
- Are there any variations ? In Mr. Danner's site it sais the Order was established on 1732 ! and it
was renewed on 1815 and so on . . . that's a lot of time, were the awards the same classes from
the start, do they look different with time ? I understand swords were added only on 1870.
( for example the order of the red eagle has lots of variations to the medals with time . . . )
- Anything else you can think of ( ribbon bars, medal bars with this order, known people who recieved it,
price estimates and so on . . . ).
- And most imporant, I love cased medals, does this order has cased medals, anybody has one or more
who can share a photo ?
Thank you very much, I really love this order.
Best regards,
Ran

Hi Rick, thanks for the reply.
Lets see if I understand. The awards with swords were given only in wartime ( right ? ), if so are the years
1914-1919 the only years of war for this grand duchy ? I guess if swords were added since 1870 surely it was
for a "reason" but I'm not so good with history.
Anyway to know how many without swords where issued ? and were they issued from 1732 ?
Thanks again,
Ran
