Herr General Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Anyone with an idea about why the german medals aren't first ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 All I could think about is that the miniatures at this bar could be switched?? Then he might have to go to an ambassador or another official party of Iran...Then he chooses to wear the miniature in the first place...However as a native of germany, the german order had to come in the second place...So.. just a bundle of miniatures put together might be possible too!Kind regards,Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yes, this is increasingly looking like either a seriously jumbled group or a made-up group. Unless it is the second row of something longer. But NOT to "a german member of the ministry of farming and forest". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr General Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 If this is the second row of a group mounted alphabetically according to the French names of the countries, why is Austria ( Autriche ) in the second row? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr General Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Depends on the rules of the country of the wearer. In the Netherlands you wear your own countries awards first. Highest to lowest. Next are the foreign countries alphabetically according to the French names of the countries. If you have more then one award from a foreign country then you wear them also from the highest to the lowest award.I believe this is the case in most European countries?

British practice, the only one I know for sure, is to then wear foreign awards (if sanctioned) in the order of award.Such rules are, of course, often ignored.

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Maybe a practiser of animal husbandry has more notion of how to mount horses than he does about how to mount medals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 That might be plausible,But then.. As a civil servant, one is a kind of carte d'visit for his country.With a messy miniature-group, wouldn't be a really nice carte d'visit.....Anyway, still many awards for "just" a civil servant..If you buy miniatures, they're already expensive in the netherlands, for a little extra money, they can be mounted, thus for the money, it's not THE point in not having your miniatures mounted correct.Kind regards,Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone has an officer, let's say of the Order of the Sword of Sweden, a Knight in the Order of the Crown of Belgium and a Knight in the Order of Merit of Germany, he would wear them: Officer Sword Sweden (S?ede), Knight Merit Germany (Allemange) and Knight Crown Belgium (Belgique).
