Thanks for you comments ! This one of other project... There is not recent book in french about WW1 german awards... So maybe... I'd like to write one, but still missing 40 or 50 pictures to illustrate and make an exhaustive list (especially rare orders and very rare medals...) I hope also bring to completion this project... Maybe for 2014 ! ) :cheers:

A better picture : :cheers:

Hello Gentlemens, I have done this pictures today, with all germans WW1 orders I actually possess... My collection is humble (especially considering some very very complete and nice collection in this forum), but I hope reach one of my objective : possess at least one class of each order used during WW1... One day... For my (your ?) eyes pleasure ! :cheers:

Hi ! This one is very nice ! I like it ! :cheers:

Hi ! Recently arrived at home : this nice prussian red cross 1st class insignia, in silver gilt. Rare, because only awarded 161 times during WW1... :jumping:

And hallmark on the loop. :cheers:

revers of the box

box...

Here is mine : a bronze gilt example, by CF Rothe, with box dated 1916...

Hi! Yes, very nice. The cross is perfect ! I only possess the 2nd class cros with X and she's more simple !

No it isn't... This one is very nice ! :beer:

8. Saxe Meiningen War Merit cross :cheers:

Unfortunately, this cross is not mine... For the moment...

Yes, of course XIXth century, not XVIII...

Hello ! So early XVIII century ? A 1st class knight cross ?

Hi gentlemens, my friens ask me about this EKI. Looks fine, I have some doubts, especially with the pin... Thank you for your minds ! :cheers:

Other side... :cheers:

Hi gentlemens ! What do you think about this Zahringer Lion Order ? Width 37mm. Seems in gold. What about the position of the ring ? Thank you for your mind ! :cheers:

Hi ! I actually search some of these orders/medals. I search them with or without box. You can send me PM or mail at jb.villette(a)orange.fr I hope you can help me ! Thank you ! MEDALS : Saxony : Carola medal, 1st or 2nd model, silver, with 1914-1918 clasp for women. (OEK 2260 to 2271) Wurtemberg : Merit cross with swords (OEK 3076) Oldenburg : Red Cross medal (OEK 1554) Mecklemburg Strelitz : Adolf Frederic cross (OEK 1418) Mecklemburg Strelitz : cross for war distinction (OEK 1411 or 1414 or 1415) Anhalt : Mary cross (OEK 83) Schaumburg Lippe : Silver military merit medal with red cross (OEK 1253) Schwarzburg : Merit medal (OEK 2765 or 2766) with 1917 clasp Schwarzburg : Anerkenungsmedaille (OEK 2767 or 2768) with 1917 clasp ORDERS : Wurtemberg : Military merit order Knight cross Bade : Charles Frederic military merit order Knight cross Hessen : Philips Order, knight cross 1st or 2nd class, with swords Schwarzburg : Honor cross order 3rd class, with swords and/or with oak leaf 19/14/15 :cheers::cheers:

Thank you ! So the cross is good, initially a modell with screwback (OEK 1415) who has been converted later... :cheers:

Other side...

Hi gentlemen ! What do you think about this one ? She is poor, but according Peter Ohm-Hieronymussen (Die Mecklenburg-Strelitzer Orden und Ehrenzeichen) it is a late model, after 1917 (the cross is not in silver). Is it a good one ? The pin and hook seems to be different that I have seen... I need your opinion ! Thank you !
