Hi John, Many thanks for the photo...

Dear All, anyone that can post a photo of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan 'Der Kha Pawzi Khedmat' medal ? I'm higly interested in seeing at least, his ribbon..... (I have searched the web, unfortunately, with no result) Before to close this post, I would like to know if someone can translate the words: 'Der Kha Pawzi Khedmat' Any help would be greatly appreciated Best Regards Lilo

Hi 1812 Overture, Much Appreciated ! ATB Lilo

Hi Micke, Thank you for the answer. Regards Lilo

The missing ribbon (central row, last from right) is the Hungary, Order of Merit ! This make sense in an Italian ribbon rack !

Hi All, Is there someone that could confirm the award of the : Grand Cross of the Württemberg, Order of the Württemberg Crown, to 'Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of CONNAUGHT and STRATHEARN (1850-1942), Field Marshal' (He was the 3rd son of Queen Victoria of the British Royal Family) ? Many Thanks ATB Lilo

Having talked with member seeheld that have told me that he cannot help about the Wuttemberg Order, I decided to open a new post properly dedicated to this Order

Hello seeheld, GREAT : Many Thanks for your patience and help !!!! At this point it should be interesting to know if also Francis Paul Charles Louis Alexander (was born Franz Paul Karl Ludwig Alexander), Duke of Teck (1837–1900) was awarded (and when) with the: ‘Mecklenburg Schwerin House Order of Wendisch Crown’ ? Last, I hope you don't mind if I post here my last question (just to conclude my re-search)..... Are you (or some other member) able to confirm the award of the : Grand Cross of the Württemberg, Order of the Württemberg Crown, to the 'Number 1 of my above list', i.e. the : - Prince Arthur William Patrick Albert, Duke of CONNAUGHT and STRATHEARN (1850-1942), Field Marshal ? Again Many Thanks ATB Lilo P.S. If for this last question I should open a new post, just let me know (Members and/or Moderators)
