Miniature ”För Tapperhet i Fält” m/1809

Outstanding! I think it must be the Dansk Røde Kors' fortjensttegn as it replaced the previous Red Cross medal after 1963.

Wow, that's certainly the best candidate yet. Here is a photo of him (not sure what year) wearing what seems to be all of them except the Red Cross one. So presumably, if it is him (which seems likely), this photo is from before 1963. Him (to the right) on a royal visit to Hjørring in 1951

Thanks! My initial thought as well, I'll just have to keep trying. Maybe in the future an ID will be possible.

Recently acquired this miniature grouping with an interesting combination. Mounted in Danish style, it's a relatively unusual combination with an Order of the Dannebrog knight's cross (Frederik IX), Danish Red Cross Service Medal 2. class (1963-), St. Olavs Orden, Order of the Falcon (Iceland) and the Thai Order of the Crown of Thailand. I found one name more interesting than others when looking through the Danish state calenders, one Frederik Albert Madsen (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederik_Albert_Madsen). I'm not sure if it's a perfect fit, but it's certainly the best so far. If any of you have an opinion on this particular name or any other insight regarding this group, feel free to add something.

Very interesting times when Germany still wasn't unified, and then not long after you're serving under the Prussian crown. Anyways - yes, you're right. Details vary, and I suppose artistic freedom applies even to the more ''high-end'' manufacturers like Godet. I ended up getting it, thanks for the help

For the price it’s a nice piece If it hasn’t been messed with for sure

Greetings, this chain came up the other day, and except for the obvious damage on the EK I didn't notice anything before I looked at the 25-year service award for officers. It seems to be a mini of the 2. form (1826-1845). Does it make sense? The other awards are 1866 and onwards. I was looking if I could find a similar example but no luck. Grateful for any insight, best regards

Little information about his career and photos Bertil Wiklander (1909-1994) was musical director at Kungliga Svea flygflottiljs musikkår and later military musical inspector. In the opening ceremony of the equestrian events of the 1956 Olympics held in Stockholm, he led the music choirs of Västmanland, Svea and Södermanlands Kungliga flygflottiljer. In 1958, six years after Sweden got its first military musical inspector Ille Gustafsson, Wiklander took the position, where he remained for at least eleven years. The highest position attainable in militärmusiken. He reached the rank of överstelöjtnant. In 1951 he composed ''åttonde flygflottiljen'' Bertil Wiklander sitting down furthest to the left Bertil Wiklander standing fifth from the left on the first row

Recent miniature bar. With the Ryttarolympiad 1956 commemorative medal awarded 323 times, Gustaf V jubileumsminnestecken II awarded 770 times and the Persian order of Homayoun by Arthus Bertrand (1925-). Originally belonging to a military musician, thanks @JohanH

Hi, yes, from what I also saw it is after 1925 and by the manufacturer Arthus Bertrand in Paris. This post was also quite good about these: Best regards

A recent miniature bar I had to add to this thread because of the Arthus Bertrand piece on it, I must say its distinct appearance is quite interesting (I also have a liking for the Swedish commemorative medals)

Hello, for me, this is the only photo I have of one in wear (from a thread on here). They are usually very tiny, and the one I have a photo of is a bigger lone wound badge. Has anyone seen one?

— Indeed, my pleasure to. I can't believe I didn't see the stamp, or perhaps I overlooked it (?) — Amazing, Glenn. Now I know that he was indeed awarded these, and I can organise a more proper display for the set My greatest thanks, j

Good day, this is a really interesting group I have, and I just noticed after some time that the presentation box has the ID (?) stamped on the back! With the help of Kujawsko-Pomorska Biblioteka Cyfrowa, I have found what I think is Oberstaatsanwalt Zitzlaff being promoted in 1910 and then serving as Oberstaatsanwalt in Posen, originally working in Thorn before promotion. Last mentioned in local newspapers as Oberstaatsanwalt (Chief Prosecutor) in April or November 1915. He reappears in 1926. Now to the most interesting part, – the Frackkette that came with the box. Does it belong to this man, was he awarded these awards? Or are they simply separate? - EK1/2 1914 - Verdienstkreuz Kriegshilfsdienst (Prussia) - Roter Adler Orden 4.Klasse (Prussia) - Königlicher Kronen-Orden 3.Klasse (Prussia) - Landwehr Dienstauszeichnung 2.Klasse (Prussia) - Order of St. Stanislaus (Imperial Russia) All the best, j

Not him. Apologies

One I found

Hello, The style was demolished 1915 and you never see it on post 1918 pictures. So this bar, being 1917 I think, isn‘t even correct. Also, as an higher officer serving from 1898 onwards, not a lot got the FEK. His ww1 medals are also mostly commemorative. Regards

Hello! This is a bigger ribbon bar one of my friends has, which I hope is able to be tracked down or get some more clues about by someone in this forum by any chance. As far as I know, this bar most likely belonged to a long serving Bavarian officer (most likely a doctor or maybe a priest). The third ribbon from the right is the 1870 commerative medal, so this guy definitly served from 1870 into ww1. His medals are also interesting, as he has an order from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, unusual for a Bavarian. I sadly don‘t have any access to the Ranglisten from back then, but maybe someone here has! If you have any input, please comment. Regards

Yea, thought that might be the case Thanks, maybe
