Thank you very much Glenn for your help in identifying officer on my painting. This is third one, that you help me with. I am really appreciate it. As fur as his St. George cross, I assume it is 5th class St.George cross. 

Just acquired this portrait of a prussian colonel. Last cross on his medal bar, Russian St.George cross for Franco-Prussian war.

Order of the Noble Bukhara

Thank you for helping me identify medal. I will try to do some research on Ferdinand Graf von (Count of) Vetter von der Lilie. It will be cool if it's indeed him.
I am really appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Glenn

Hello,
I have a portrait of Austrian major in uniform of lancers regiment "Archduke Carl" No. 3. Apparently he participated in suppression of hungarian uprising 1849 for which he received Leopold Order i Knight’s Cross, Russian order of St.Vladimir 4th class with swords. He also has a  medal, ribbon looks like Prussan "life saving". May be someone can help me identify it.

Hi all,

Can someone identify this order. Order made by Godet & Sohn, Berlin. 

Thank you Paul,

I stopped collecting German medals long time ago, but ones collector, always collector. Just couldn't pass by a good deal.  

Thank you for the information.

Best regards,

Thank you for your reply. I have been told it was Franco-Prussian war period piece. But if it's earlier decoration it is even better. Do you have information on how many Knight orders were issued during that period. 

One of the early awards, probably 1870-1871. Order shows some heavy wear on the bottom portion of the front medallion. It looks like recipient awarded with this order proudly wear it for a long time. Does anybody have any information on number of SHO awarded during Franco-Prussian war.

WOW! That was fast.
Thank you very much for information. I am collecting paintings on Franco-Prussian war and based on general awards he took part in Franco-Prussian war. But I had no idea who he were, not until now.
With kind regards,
Glenn

Gentlemen,

 

Thank you all for your kind comments regarding my little St. Michael cross. Yes, it represents a knight’s 1st class cross, which, as Saschaw( ) points out, was awarded from 1837-1887. A full size cross is shown below.

 

I agree with Beau Newman that at such times Jörg Nimmergut’s magnum opus can be very useful… but Saschaw’s warning of errors must be heeded. Aside from that, Iwould add that Georg Schreiber’s “Die Bayerischen Orden und Ehrenzeichen” (printed in 1964) is helpful.

 

Thank you all again.

Early version in its original box, made by jeweler Edouard Quellhorst.

A group of awards to General Tomashevsky (Никола́й Константи́нович Томаше́вский) was split up and sold piece by piece. May be some one from this forum acquire part of it, I got some items too, and interested in one item that was sold one week earlier, separated from rest of the group. Will offer you a good deal for that one item.

Michael,

Very interesting indeed.

Which was the last numbered Royal Victorian Order to a foreigner you saw? What was his name and what was the number?

Cheers,

James

LVO awarded on 25 June 1990 to Mrs Vigdis Bjarnadottir- Island. Order number L107

Just received this KCVO and when comparing to my earlier MVO I see the numbering style is more contemporary looking. Is it possible to date the period of manufacture or award based on the crown on the obverse top of the badge? I notice a difference in the various eras of DSO and am curious if it is possible to date the badge based on the engraving of the number or the crown motiff. I know they are king's crowns but not sure if there are variations in design over the years.

Can you show revers of both, star and the cross
