Great Dane

A lot of French cities/counties used a mural crown on local decorations. One example is the many local life-saving medals. My money is on a local French issued decoration with similar award criteria as the Academic Palms.

Very nice bar! Unfortunately no lists exist for the Danish medal. The gold version was often named on the rim, so some lists were kept. Generally the medal of recompense could be awarded at the sovereign's discretion - often during state visits - and were rarely documented.

No, not Danish... The only decoration that comes to my mind is the Austrian Red Cross. Any maker on the button itself?

Could it be the Order of the Crown from Iran/Persia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Crown_(Iran)

Not necessarily German... I have a few of these with the wrong 'closed' crown - one with a French hallmark on the reverse. The fact that the Commander's cross has the legend (GUD OG KONGEN) from the front of the knight badge and the W with an open crown from the back of the badge (and not the C5 with a closed crown) confuses many foreign jewellers.

I saw that too, and just like you it made me sad. I also realize that not only does it maximize profit, but in this case (most are to the same person) it would probably be hard to sell the combined lot, since it would demand a price that only few collectors could afford. Still sad... at least they could have kept each award with its document.

Most likely a Danish recipient. The Dannebrog Silver Merit Cross was only rarely awarded to foreigners.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kürassier-Regiment_„Graf_Gessler“_(Rheinisches)_Nr._8 Konrad v. Lüttichau is listed as commander of the regiment 1891-1896 (assuming he is your guy?) Not much else to find about him...

I read "FELDM", not "FLDM"...

I looked at my many printed Thies catalogues and none of them show any English text on the cover (I have lots more digital Thies catalogues, but for some reason Thies never include the cover page in their downloads) So maybe this is some promotional flyer, like you say?

Now, that is just bragging Quite a collection for something that is not your main interest.

Very nice indeed... what a collection! Thanks for the close-up of the Danish Medal of Recompense. So nice he had it named!

Interesting mix for sure. A small correction: 8. Sweden. Order of the Sword silver cross

I don't have that official report, but a similar list can be found in Peter Frederiksen's "Jutlandia - Danmark i Korea-krigen". It was published in 2009, so may be easier to find. It lists medical and naval personnel, but (as far as I can see) omits those that were decorated with the Jutlandia medal for their support work on shore (Danes as well as foreigners). Hope this helps... UPDATE: I just realized I have the Annex G from the official report in a digital format. If you want me to send it to you, PM me with your email address.

Came across this (undoubtedly real) mini VC. It does not seem to have attachment holes. Mini VC on Noonans Mayfair
