P.F.

Saschaw, Thanks for the reply. I honestly cannot remember what the query was in relation to but are there any Prussian OR Hohenzollern Jubilee medals with these years? Kind regards, Pierce

Franz von Papen was also a holder of the Vatican Order of Pope Pius IX.

Saschaw, Thank you for this wealth of additional information! I still have this piece (that began the thread). Kind regards, Pierce

Many thanks for your replies.

Additionally, here is Scheer's entry in the 1918 Naval Rank List. Kind regards, Pierce

A 5-place bar.

1. Prussian Crown Order 4th Class with Swords 5. Prussian Long Service Decoration 6. China Medal 8. Anhalt Albrecht the Bear 1st Class

Many thanks.

Good work. Certainly rare to see Germans with Chinese Orders! What is the full/correct name for this award? Thank you

Possibly the China Republican Order of the Striped Tiger.

I have had this medal bar a few years. Unfortunately, the Zahringer Lion Order is missing. The combination is perhaps uncommon? The hook/clip on the reverse is interesting. Would it have been to keep the medal bar sitting straight on the tunic? Kind regards, Pierce

I would be grateful for opinions on this piece. It is non-magnetic. Thank you, Pierce

This had crossed my mind too. It might account for the reason why we cannot find him.

Nicolas, Have you a first name? How did you locate this surname? If there is other available "proof" please post it as it may be of use. Kind regards, Pierce

Online sources state 06.07.1939, probably around the time Prince Paul of Yugoslavia visited Berlin.
