Oh...great idea...I would like to join you at 12.00 on Friday... Solomon

No, he isn?t. Only the auctions are cancelled...by himself. So keep an eye on this seller Greetings Solomon

:cheers: ...wow...but the Detmold-lists are written more readable Thank you again! Best regards Solomon

:catjava: Uhhh...very nice! I almost forgot this document in my collection Now, I?ll add this information... Thnk you very much! Best regards Solomon

Wow, much more information than I thought to get about him. Rixck, I?m your opinion, all orders should have been given back...but where are his other award documents???? Best regards Roman

Thank you Rick for your fast reply. Very nice mix of international orders Greetings Roman

Hi gents, I just got this nice award document from ebay: Red Eagle Order 3th class with the bow-style ribbon (Roter Adler Orden 3.Klasse mit der Schleife) Otto Budde, member of the managing board of "Fried. Krupp AG", got it on 30. December 1907. He lived in Essen ("an der Ruhr") between 1848 and 1909. But that?s all information I found. Does anybody have more information about him? What else did he award? By the way, this document was originally signed by Wilhelm II., common for this class of the Red Eagle Order. Best regards Roman

:speechless1: Holy sh**! I sold my order for art and science 1st class at the beginning of this year...the big brother of your wonderful mini! And I never saw this mini before...congratulation, a good buying. By the way, the ribbon is the same for the house order Schaumburg-Lippe and Lippe-Detmold. (If you need a picture of my 2nd class with women-style ribbon, you?ll find it here online...). Best regards Roman P.S.: I just found a photo of my 1st class...but definitly SOLD! :banger:

...and a closer look on his medalbar....

I placed a bid on it and didn?t suceed....2,000 Euro...a bit too much in my opinion. By the way, the seller divided a group A few weeks ago he sold two ribbon-bars and the fitting mini-chain to this beauty. I asked him for a name, but this group was anonymous and it is impossible to ID it with the award-lists Last week I got this nice picture...the man is wearing the Prussian Kriegshilfsdienst-Kreuz, the war honour medal Lippe-Detmold (NC-ribbon) and a Prussian long service medal. The seller offered another (earlier) picture of this man, but the price was as much again By the way...it?s my first picture with this medal...quite hard to find. Best regards Roman

I also saw the splitting of this group.... And I saw the (complete) group on the Thies auction...in my opinion the starting price was too high, otherwise I had placed a bid on it. But now I won?t place a bid on any of these auctions, it might be impossible to keep the belonging parts together. ...another unique group is destroyed.... Roman

Of course, I have the chance...it?s my medalbar (Vizefeldwebel Augst Sch?fer from Detmold) Here are the sizes: diameter (without crown) = 28,8 mm ( 1,134 inch ) height (incl. crown) = 42,95 mm ( 1,691 inch ) height (incl. ribbon-ring) = 52,2 mm ( 2,055 inch ) I hope, this was helpful... Best regards Roman

Hi gents, what?s about the silver / golden merit medal Schaumburg-Lippe? Carl B?sch made the early merit medals for Schaumburg-Lippe and Lippe-Detmold... Here is a photo of my medal...if you need the sizes, please let me know! Best regards Roman

Here is my contribution to this very nice thread...the miniature is an old one, made frome silver...

No problem...I just found a photo of von Str??enreuther...It isn?t the person, I?m searching for Link: http://www.barnick.de/bt/wer/img/stroessenreuther.jpg

Hmm, I don?t know. I can?t find in the award-lists of Lippe. Do you have further information about Ritter von Str??enreuther? Best regards Roman

...and to make it complete, I?ll show you the class, he is wearing around his neck

Hi folks, this photo drives me crazy! Probabely you have seen it before... This bavarian guy (a noncombatant) is wearing a house-order 2nd class, house-order 3th class on his "Frackspange" and a NC-war merit cross Lippe-Detmold. This picture was taken in Munich, surely after 1918 (Kyffh?user-medal on the bar). I have no idea, who this man was...and there is no hint on him. Does anybody have additional hints? Best regards Roman

EDIT: A second view on Rick?s photos makes a war merit cross Lippe-Detmold also possible...

Hi Rick, may I introduce Wilhelm Hackemack from Detmold to you? I have some of his papers (incl. the WW2-"Wehrpass"), showing the entries "Eisernes Kreuz 2.Klasse" and Lippische Verdienstmedaille". Hackemack got the military merit medal Lippe-Detmold and I think your guys, too Please compare the wearing of the ribbon... @RaZpuTiN Very nice cross! It looks like silver guilted...a late cross from WW1, right? Best regards Solomon

...and still nameless Best regards Solomon

And here is a very special document for this medal...signed by Prince Leopold IV. himself for the musican-leader of the 55th regiment "Gustav W?he". ...a quite rare bird, because it was unusual, that the Prince signed it... Best regards Solomon

...except he would sell it to me Here is my silver merit medal Lippe-Detmold, a early one, marked with "Wiegand f.". If you need some further pictures, please look at my website (only in german) "Hausorden.de"

and backwards...

Hi folks, here is a new interesting photo from Lippe.... Backwards you can find the words "Gauf?hrer Friedrich Pastor" Pastor is wearing the IC 1st class 1914, the (silver) wound-badge and on his ribbon-bar: -IC 2nd class 1914 -military merit medal Lippe-Detmold -war merit cross Lippe-Detmold Ooops, there is something else...he is wearing a Stahlhelmbund-badge and the "Bundesstern des Stahlhelmbundes" ("F?hrerstern"). There were only a few "Landesf?hrer" of the Stahlhelm-Bund, but I haven?t any information about Friedrich Pastor. Can anybody help me? Best regards Solomon
