Hello,

Does anyone by chance have a copy of “The Orders, Decorations and Medals of Finland” by Jani Tiainen”? Saw a copy on eBay the other day but didn’t last long! I’d be willing to buy or trade a scan for some scans of high end books on my end? Please send pm.

Thanks in Advance,

Jack

I know there are copyright issues, but the books are fairly old to begin with! If anyone is in need of a PDF copy of recipient books of the following, pm me and let me know?

Sachsen St Heinrich’s Order

Bavarian Military Max Joseph Order

Military Maria Theresia Order

Hello, I tried to find current information on the above award, and very little is available? Two questions? Didn’t awards from States and Kingdoms cease after WWI? And if so, how is it possible that Hermann Goering was awarded the Grand Cross of the Ernestine House Order in the 1930’s? He is seen wearing the award in his Heer General’s tunic? Were there other post WWI awards made to Germans? Thank you in advance!

Hi  Dave,

Thank you very much for showing and explaining the differences in the awards, much appreciated! And now, much easier to understand.

Jack

Thank you Dave, but were they identical?

Hello, I have a book that lists the recipients of this award, as well as others. Can someone please tell me if the awards are identical when awarded by the Prussian Government under Kaiser Wilhelm II and also under the Princely House Order? I have recipients that list one or the other, and have read that while Kaiser took over the House of Hohenzollern, that awards were also given under the Princely House itself?

Hey Nic,

I do have a list, and sent you a pm.

Best,

Jack

Hi Andy, thank you for your reply and pointing out some research specifics.

Okay I just found a copy of Willi Geile's book on Recipients of the Knight's Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern during the First World War. It lists the recipients alphabetically by year of their award 1915-1918. It also gives the date and rank at time of award. What it doesn't list is their first name which is rather frustrating. If anyone needs information from this book, please let me know. I am also looking for a book by the same author who lists the 1st Class Recipients of the Red Eagle Order during World War I.

Can someone please tell me how I can obtain a copy of the Ordenstrager CD?

Thanks,

Jack

Daniel,

Please put me on your list as well when it is complete and you decide to sell it as I am very interested in the recipients of the RK-Hohenzollern.

Best Regards,

James
