Wild Card Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Okay, I?m really going to go out on a limb on this one. The last one is mostly likely a Russian St. Anna (degree unknown) or medal ?for zeal?; but #3 and #4 present an interesting possibility. First, #3 could be a Russian St. George order, or cross, and #4 could be a W?rttemberg Friedrich Order, a Hannoverian Guelph Order (again degree unknown) or even a Hannoverian civil merit medal; but we could also consider a rather extreme possibility.#3 and #4, if combined to represent one ribbon, would be a Russian 1814 capture of Paris medal. See below, far right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Now, since we may be considering the Napoleonic era, let?s say that #2 is one of (there are three) the Saxon Duchies 1814 - 1815 campaign medals like the one shown below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 With regard to #1, the only thing that I could suggest is the Isenburg-Birstein 1814 -1815 war medal; which while close, the ribbon just isn?t exactly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Tezer Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm going to take a wild stab at it, and put my money on the Napoleonic era. 1) Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, medal for volunteers of the 5th German Army Corps. (the off-white stripes should be yellow, but maybe they faded?)2) Saxon Duchies war commemorative for 1814/153) Russia, Order (or cross) of St. George4) Hanover, Guelphic medal for war merit 18155) Prussia, golden military merit medal 1797-1815 (or silver if it dates before 1806)6) I'm kind of at a loss for this one - maybe a Schaumburg Lippe Civil Merit Medal, after 1830. Otherwise another non-German award I haven't figured out, but not a Russian St. Anne, as that would have been placed next to the St. George ribbon.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Great input Tim. I considered the Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, medal (example for reference below) but did not factor the ?faded yellow? possibility. This especially makes sense because the color of what is most likely a Russian St. George for #3 is also a bit faded.With regard to what we both think may be a Hannoverian Guelphic award in position #4, I doubt that this would be a medal because as far as I know, those medals all went to nco?s and or?s in Hannoverian and King?s German Legion units, which I do not think would apply to this individual. Therefore, I would favor a Guelphic knight.Your guess about #5 makes as much sense as anything else suggested so far. Now with regard to the last Item, since as far as I know, the Russian St. George was awarded for military merit only and the Guelph could be a knight with swords, awards 1 - 5 are all military. Therefore, would a civil St. Anna be in the correct position, after all of the military awards? Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
