Wow ! Third class with X are pretty rare... 🙂

Acquired more recently, this 2nd class cross, also marked W on the lower branch. No ribbon unfortunately, I will have to put a modern one... 😃

Hi gentlemens ! After this wonderful post on the orders and decorations of Lippe... I propose to continue the momentum with this so simple but so pretty Prussian decoration. There is a lot of variation possible, with many ribbons... Some are very rare ! Show us all this ! I would start with this pretty 3rd class cross, which I have had for a long time, with its case. Hallmarked W on the lower branch. Not the end for me... but later ! 😁

@Solomon, what a collection ! @Komtur, what a group ! 😍

That's a nice christmas gift ! 🥰 Mine is a nice set of Books... 🥰 And now the series is complete...

What wonders !!! 😍

Exceptional ! Who are the recipients of these 3 exceptions ?

Soooooo nniiiccceee ! 😍

Yes very reasonable Price for it...

And I found a list of doctors practicing in Paris, established on January 1, 1918. There is a Dr. VALUDE (Marie-Emile-Clément-Barthélemy), birth date 12 janvier 1885, living in Paris, 240 bis boulevard St-Germain...

Nice ! 👍

Mine is a ex-OMSA's member one :

I have already seen such a model, not official at all... Like this one on an old kuenker auction... blockquote widget

Already seen the box, but Nevers the paper packet for KVK 🤩

Now, I can show you the complete " roses family " !

Number 2, Coburg-Gotha Herzog Carl Eduard Medaille, small medal, before 1907 ? like this one... (emedals)

reactivating this topic with this Lippe Honor cross 2nd class, with swords... enjoy ! (Nimmergut says 24 awarded during 1914-1918). And I don't remeber if I showed you before this merit cross of Lippe's Bertha order... Only 15 awards ?

Yes you're right

No, not really more information on Nimmergut's...

Hi ! For the Ritterkreuz, Nimmergut says 423 awards beetween 1884 and 1918 (include 137 for Strelitz, beetween 1904-1918).

Furthermore, Kuenker offered for sale a lot of Carola Medals... 1st type (1892-1915) : Bronze Silver : On bow ribon : 2nd type (1915-1918) : bronze with clasp 1914-16 for men : bronze with clasp 1914-16 for women : And silver grade, on bow ribon, with clasp 1914-16 for women : Clasp created May 22th 1916. Looking very similar to the british clasps on crimea medals...

Mmmmm... It seems being mounted on black / white ribbon... No ?

Hi ! I have already see some case for this medal on several auction or to sell, but never possess one... this one is stamped C.E. Kunath / Dresden (woeschler orden) : This is a box as presented above, but for silver grade (I don't remember where the picture come from... Maybe Kuenker's auction...) : 😉

2 : seems be RAO 4 with X ? 6 : yes, china medal I think too ... 😀

Hi ! My two little bavarian bars... Very modest but I like the Konig Ludwig bar 😘
