Belgium Belgian Order of the Crown
Frank Japan replied to Laurence Strong's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Gentlemen, how could I tell the year this one was awarded? The seller is describing it as WW1ish. The prerequisite would be it is a real one. Thanks & regards, Frank

Dear all, do you may know if there is any way to determine the period in which an Order of the Sacred Treasure was awarded. Are there any markings or engravements on it which could help with the identification? I am interested in Meiji and Taisho pieces from 6th class up. Thanks & regards, Frank

Gentlemen, out of curiosity I bought an Albrechtsorden Ritterkreuz (A.R. 2) with reversed swords. The dealer whom I got it from told me that this was done by the recipient to reject the armistice of 1918. When visiting the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold (Germany) I found another example of reversed swords: An Offiziersehrenkreuz. https://lippisches-landesmuseum.de/ Do you may have similar experiences? Cheers, Frank PS: At the museum shop you can buy the following book: Reiner Schwark Orden und Ehrenzeichen des Fuerstentums Lippe Detmold 1778 - 1933
