Solomon Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) I think the envelope is after-market... The Lippe KVK was issued in a paper, titled packet.Oooops, I?m sorry that I didn`t answer months ago You are not right...these envelopes belong to the early crosses...SCHWARK mentioned these envelopes in his book, too.Inside was the rest of the paper, in which the shown cross was wrapped.So...watch out for these little envelopes.Best regardsSolomon Edited September 17, 2007 by Solomon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Maybe a Mecklenburg-Schwerin Griffin Order (Hmmm... can't tell the size. It's not square, so it's not an officer, so) knight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) The order of the wendish crown (knight cross, golden merite cross and silver merite cross) is also possible. For sure not a bigger class as a knight cross.The boxes for the griffin order and for the order of the wendish crown are from outside the same.But Mecklenburg-Schwerin is correct. FF = Friedrich Franz (Grandduke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin)best regardsseeheld Edited November 9, 2007 by seeheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 You guys are good, thought this would be a toughie. It is a case for the Griffin Knight by Rose. Didn't know the cases were identical to the Wendish Crown since it was a much more rare award. I assume it would be safe to say the order is more rare then the case in both orders from Mecklenburg. What did one have to do in order to receive a crown above the cross? As I understand from the O&E catalog they were made in silver, bronze-gilt and white metal-gilt. Would the bronze-gilt issued pieces be considered WWl issue or before. Also lately I have seen a number of Wendish Crown breast badges in silver & wondering if they were only issued for WWl or just later copies for the collector. Any info would be greatly appreciated.SincerelyYankee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
