Hope it helps answering your question.

Unfortunately these both show Mussolini with the wrng star of the order. That one is the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle in Gold. Thanks anyway for your kindness!  

I found a photograph of Benito Mussolini wearing what looks to be the Grand Cross in Diamonds of the Order of the German Eagle; If anyone else has any photos of either the Star of the order or of him wearing it please send it.

What is this swedish late 19th (1800s) and early 20th century (1900s) uniform called? I have allways wondered what the uniform that King(s) Oscar II, Gustaf V and Gustaf VI Adolf is called. The designation is most likely that of m/ä (model äldre) but when was it introduced, when was it discontinued and can you find any other pictures of it in use?

1. Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden
2. Gustaf V of Sweden
3. Oscar II of Sweden-Norway (of Sweden after 1905)

Yeah, i just want to say that i'm sorry... i don't know how to quote people, but i think what BlackcowboyBS said is a possibility. I know of the miniature Grand Crosses as i've seen them in paintings and in real life at the Stockholm Palace where Charles XIV John's Marshal's uniform that he wore during the Battle of the Nations at Liepzig in 1813 is on display.

Here are some examples:

1.  Charles XIV John of Sweden's Marshal's Uniform with the small Grand Crosses of both the Order of the Sword (left) and the Order of Vasa (Right).
2. Charles (XIV) John as Crown Prince of Sweden wearing the small Grand Crosses of both the Swedish Order of the Sword and the French Legion of Honour.
3. Nicholas I of Russia wearing the miniture Grand Cross of the Order of St. George.
4. Charles XIV John of Sweden wearing the small Grand Crosses of the Order of the Sword (Left), the Order of the Polar Star (Middle) and the Order of Vasa (Right)
5. Oscar I of Sweden wearing all the Swedish chivelric orders on his left breast.
6. Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's Marshal's and later Crown Prince and King of Sweden.

These wear just some examples i knew of the top of my head. But i'm sure there are plenty more out there. Sorry for my bad spelling though.

Hello again! This is my second ever post and i was wondering if anyone knowns what medal Emperor Wilhelm II is wearing around his neck and i was also wondering what the badges on his chest are. I know about the Order of St. Olav and also the Order of the Norwgian Lion but what are the other?

Here is a link to the image: Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany

Hello, this is my 1st post and i was just wondering if anyone has any information or images, about the Order of Saint Olav awarded in Diamonds. The only exampel i could find is the Coronation portrait of King Oscar II of Sweden-Norway (after 1905 just King of Sweden). So it would be wonderful if any of you could help me in this endeavor.
