Now the silver "Anerkennungsmedaille".

OK, here are The photos. At first the "Anna-Luise-Verdienstzeichen". Please remember, it`s a modern fake!!

In my former collection of Imperial awards, I had only one silver and one bronce "Anerkennungsmedaille", both without the "Spange 1917". If you are interested, I can send a photo of these decorations. Regards Kapitular

The backside of this medal is blank. I have never seen an original piece, have only a fake in my collection. If you are interested, I can add a photo of this fake of course. Regards Kapitular

Here another axample of an outfitter?s ignorance. The owner was Ernst August Anton Wilhelm Timpe, jailinspector of the jail in Jever/Oldenburg. Regards Kapitular

I think, it?s very clear. The attachment as KW Lt. to the Oldenburg FAR 62, that means, connections to Oldenburg for nearly 16 years, that?s the reason, he got the Oldenburg House Order. By the way, born in Osnabr?ck, he was a native of Prussia. The kingdom Hannover ended already in 1866. Best regards Kapitular

In 1917, June 18th it was declared: To get the Oldenburg House Order with swords presumes the posession of the EK I. and a Prussian House Order with swords (normally the Hohenzollern) or the decoration with the Pour le m?rite. I don?t know any other person, decorated with an Oldenburg House Order with swords, but not with a FA Cross 1. and 2. class. Until June 1917 for military merit there were only FA Crosses awarded. Regards Kapitular

Heinrich H?ne got the Oldenburg House Order Knight cross with crown and swords in 1918, January 30th. Regards Kapitular

Here another interesting bar with an Imperial Russian medal, the little silvermedal "F?r Diensteifer". The bar is from a member of the oldenburg court, "Kammerdiener Thie". Best regards Kapitular Kammerdiener_Thie_website.htm

I am quite sure, the bar belongs to a member of the brunswick court staff whith the charge of a "Lakai". I suppose, you can identify him, searching in the "Hof- und Staatshandbuch". Good luck! Kapitular

Looking up the old thread, I can add the date of award for the Oldenburg "Offizierkreuz": 1912. May 24th. Regards Kapitular

I am sorry, but my english is not so good, to give you all the informations you are looking for, but in the internet you will find a lot of them. For example here: http://www.mfa.org/collections/search_art....ue&id=53276 Best regards Kapitular

Thanks, I know them both, but they are from Friedrich August, so the chiffre is "FA". I hope, to see one with the chiffre "A" from Paul Friedrich August or with the chiffre "NFP" from Nikolaus Friedrich Peter. Your website I found too, very informing and interesting! By the way, I suppose, that the Oldenburg keys wer worn without a ribbon, but I am not sure. For all who are intersted, a picture from the back: Regards Kapitular

Thanks for the bookinformation. Maybe I`ll find an answer there, although my questions are very special. Rick, there is a hook. It was worn on the right hip, in some states additional with a scarf in the colours of the state.

For me this piece is not ok! Regard the "half" cross above the crown or on the rear side the unsharp "E" and "R" of "VERDIENST". 20 years ago a had a same piece in my collection and it was definitely a fake. Best regards Kapitular

This "Kammerherrenschl?ssel" was awarded in Oldenburg before 1829 under the duke Peter Friedrich Luwig. It shows his code "P". After his death followed Paul Friedrich August, later Nicolaus Friedrich Peter and finally the last one, Friedrich August. From this last one I know a "Kammerherrenschl?ssel" with his chiffre "FA". My questions: Had the granddukes Paul Friedrich August and Nikolaus Friedrich Peter "Kammerherrenschl?ssel" with their own chiffres, for example "PFA" or "NFP" ? Did anyone of you ever see a key with these chiffres ? Maybe, you can help me. Best regards Kapitular

Deeply impressed!! v. Bassewitz got the Oldenburg knight cross 2nd class with crown in 1895, June 21st. Kapitular

This bar is absolutely correct. The owner was W.J.A. von Wedderkop who got the houseorder PFL in 1870 September 6th. After the war he left the state of Oldenburg, to become a civil servant in the prussian railway administration. Unfortunately I was not successful, to get this bar, but I am very happy, to have a good photo for my archive. Best regards Kapitular

I am quite sure, this medal is not officially issued. It is a private purchase medal after 1918. Kapitular

This medal is the first form, awarded from 1833 to ca. 1864 with the little star and "KOENIG". The next form was with three different "flowers" instead of the star and "K?NIG". About 1900 pieces were stamped (coined)? (I don`t know the correct word, sorry) but not all of them were awarded. The medal was made of silver. This medal here is quite different from the original medal. Kapitular

Hello and thank you to all of you. I think, this will be a last comment to my bar. Indeed, it is my bar. Komtur was so kind, to present it here in the forum at a time, I was not a member of the club. We have to notice, that Konsul Wanner definitively was not the person we are looking for. I think, the key will be found in the list of the belgian Order of the Crown between 1908 and 1914. In this time will be some german persons, who got it and one of them will be the owner of the bar. When we have for example about 20 names it will not be too difficult, to find him. So I am still in good hope!! Kapitular

Alexander Stoll got this medal for his help at the great explosion in the ammunitiondepot in Marienhafe, a small village near Wilhelmshaven where he was stationed at that time. Three other persons got the same medal for the same event in 1920, September 9th. The Medal was awarded from 1927 to 1934, only 87 pieces. The first ward tokk place in 1927, March 17th and the last in 1934, April 4th. I suppose, it was delivered in a small box, but i am not sure. But there was a nice document, I have here in my archive, but it has too many bites, to present it here. Kapitular

This decoration was established in 1860 and only awarded for seven years, up to 1867, the year of the military union with Prussia. 25 bars were produced but only 21 awarded. Kapitular Here the silver cross for 25 years, produced 30 pieces, awarded all the 30.

If there is still any interest, I can add some rare pieces of my former collection, for example this LS bar from Bremen, only 21 awards. Kapitular
