sachsensammler Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 And now, a nice mini of St Henry knight cross... Is the mini the one from Jörg Kalies? Nice piece... Regards, René
pinpon590 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi ! You're right, that is the one proposed by Joeg Kalies. Well seen ! :cheers:
Wild Card Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 rujab, That is a beautiful and certainly unique chain. Surely it must be identifiable. The Hussein 1904 arts and science medal is the classic example of the art deco theme that we see in several other Hussein medals of that era. This influence is no doubt reflective of the Hussein royal family’s well known dedication (to this day) to the arts. One question - am i Seeing two Philip’s Order crosses there? Finally, please don’t think that your other minis in posts #248 and #249 are not appreciated. Since I, for one, will probably never see the full size version of these medals, it is nice to see them as such well done minis. Regards, Wild Card
Wild Card Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Okay, let’s try it again. She may not be pretty, but she sure is old and must be rare.
rujab Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hallo Wild Card The big brother… The 1 Philipp is a Komthurkreuz The 2 Philipp is a knight cross 1 class Regards Rudi You are right, art nouveau are marvelously I love it

Hauptmann Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Prussian Crown Order button hole miniature: Got it to go with a full sized on a double bar... 1914 EK 2/Crown Order 4th Class. Dan
westfale Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 No order, only two small decorations for long service - but for me the golden one never seen before... Does anyone of you have a golden one, too, and would show me for comparison? Thx regards westfale
Wild Card Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Not what it appears to be (Prussian long service cross) at first glance. Actually this is a Hessen-Kassel 25 year long service cross for officers. These crosses were awarded from 1849 to 1866, so there are not many of them around; and this is is the only mini of this award that I can recall having ever seen.
saschaw Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Are you sure this is from Kassel? From here, it looks like a dark blue ribbon and a "III." below the "FW", while the Kassel cross had a purple (or red) with yellow ribbon - and a "FW I." cypher.
Deruelle Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Hello, Impressive minis you have there Wild Card. Tell me where do you find such beauties ? I have never seen a combo like this. Thanks for sharing these gems with us Christophe
Wild Card Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) · Hidden by Wild Card, June 25, 2011 - wrong alignment Hidden by Wild Card, June 25, 2011 - wrong alignment Are you sure this is from Kassel?

I realized when I bought the set that the ribbon on the mini was wrong, but attributed this to age... Here is what we should be seeing , correct ribbon and all - Edited June 25, 2011 by Wild Card
