Stijn David Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) Hello, This is indeed a super bar and i love it Dr. von Raaven did get his Belgian Crownorder (knights grade) with the date of : 07/10/1908 Funny enough, the foreign order (Belgian) was his first one he received So you have a bit more info on that one as well, but due to regulations it was worn last Cordial greetings, ps: will drop you a PM about it Edited January 29, 2007 by Stijn David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The mounting looks Danish to me! Per the Heldengedenkmappe entry on his dead brother, Dr. von Raven was a Regierungsrat in the Reichswirtschaftsministerium in Berlin in 1921.

Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Interesting is also the ribbon style. It's looks a little bit russian.Or Danish, considering the location of Mecklenburg.It's interesting. Just recently we had the ribbon bar with a Danish ribbon, and now this. Does anyone know another example of this type of mounting with Mecklenburg medals?Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
