Wild Card Posted December 31, 2006 Author Posted December 31, 2006 Hey WC.... what's in that case????Aha! In an effort to wrap up endless year end matters, I had planned to post the answer later... but since you asked (great minds think alike) . This is the 1864 -1891 W?rttemberg golden civil merit medal. Happy New Year!
Stogieman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 OK, that makes the first one I've seen outside of a catalogue. Holy Bat Guano!
Solomon Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 A nice game let's start a new round Okay, that?s easy Prussian "Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen" ...early case. GreetingsSolomon
Stogieman Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 And..... ya'll can start wondering what's in this one:No takers on this one??See photo in post #50
Solomon Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 (edited) Okay, here is a more difficult one...it?s not a real case, it?s like an envelope.Guess what lives inside GreetingsSolomon Edited January 1, 2007 by Solomon
Stogieman Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 OK, no-one can handle the "clue" in post #50.... heh, heh, heh....Here's clue #2:
Solomon Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 ...and there?s nobody, who knows what?s inside #57 It?s the war merit cross Lippe-Detmold It might have been too difficult, because these "cases" where only used for the very early crosses (1914 - Oct. 1915).Later the crosses lay in paper bags with "F?rstlich Lippisches Kriegsverdienstkreuz" on it.GreetingsSolomon
Stogieman Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 I think the envelope is after-market... The Lippe KVK was issued in a paper, titled packet.
dond Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I'll bring this back to the top with this: What lives here?
saschaw Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Hmm, may be "Baden, Erinnerungskreuz f?r freiwillige Kriegshilfe" ?!
Yankee Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Hmm, may be "Baden, Erinnerungskreuz f?r freiwillige Kriegshilfe" ?! Nope, but you are warm
Yankee Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 My apologies for not making a scan of the interior, lid only opens 90 degrees
Yankee Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Both you Gentlemen had the right Duchy and as you correctly thought issued before the 20th century . The case is mid 19th for a Zahringen Lion Knight. The interior is a deep purple.
Schießplatzmeister Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Hello Yankee:I hope that all is well. I think that I have an unfair advantage as I know that you have what I think resides inside this case:1) Kingdom of Hannover (or exile period)?2) Ernst August Order?3) Knight 1st Class?Like I said, if I have this right, I had an unfair advantage!Best regards,"SPM"
medalnet Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Just a guess on from my side Ernst August Knight 2nd, no hold on 1st class?!
Yankee Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 And I thought this would have been one tough cookie to crack.Hi SPMYou are correct it is the case for the Ernst August knight. Actually it is for the exile type made by Rothe 1866-78 solid crowns. Inside is built for the trifold ribbon. It could be for either class ( no distinction on outer lid )however what sleeps inside is a knight ll class.Hi AndreasYou aced it. How'd you do that..... SincerelyBrian
Wild Card Posted September 12, 2007 Author Posted September 12, 2007 Hi Yankee,That is one extremely rare case. Congratulations! Wild Card
