dedehansen Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hm, hm, indeed, very interesting piece and unique as well - if original. But I see some question marks on it. Can we see some closeups? Thanks in advance Hello marrauder, the Mini I posted is complete in mint condition ! But now a better photo. I hope I could dispel Your doubts.

marrauder Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi, Dede, I am only beginner, take it as such. I am not asking these things to spoil your day, just for my better knowledge. That spange reminds me cats paw spange, but your closeup is not enough close to claim it for sure. Also - it is again more question than statement - aren´t some of the ribbons of different width than others? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Denmark Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi north denmark thats just amazing, do I see an icelandic Order of the White Falcon Knights Cross? Do you know who the ODM belonged to? Hi David The upper row in frame is composed by a previous collector. I do not know the recipient of the bottom row and the last medal is not correct. I still need to find the correct medal but I do not know the the Ribbon (It is not Order of St. Anna). Please help And yes it is the Knight of the "Falke Orden" you see.

westfale Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi, nothing special, but for me never seen before - prussian long service 2nd class mini, wearing at needle: Does anyone of you have such a miniature of the 3rd or 1st class and would show it? regards westfale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nice minis guys North Denmark, are you sure noone fiddled with that second miniature bar (with the 2 Danish Dannebrog and the Dutch Oranje-Nassau)? The Dannebrog Knight cross was awarded during Frederik VIII (1906-12) and the Dannebrog Silver Cross was awarded during Frederik IX (1947-72). That's a best case span of 35 years... Of course it's physically possible, but quite unlikely since the Silver Cross was normally awarded as a "½ up" to a Knight who wasn't yet ready for a Commander, and normally done during the normal path of his career. Maybe someone put the Silver Cross on as a placeholder, waiting for a Frederik VIII or Christian X version? The style of the bar suggests that the Frederik VIII Knight Cross is the original one for the bar. But nice bars nonetheless P.S: I tried to look through my sources for a matching name for that lower bar in the glass frame, but no luck... /Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to look around for an older cross in silver, or I can swap the two Dannebrog crosses and let the silver come first (both orders had fallen off the bar then I got it, but still 35 years is a long time). Can you please tell in what time period this type of bar was used? Regards North Denmark Edited March 7, 2012 by North Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 North Denmark, You can't swap the two Dannebrog in their current versions. It was only allowed to place the Silver Cross before the Knight Cross if the Silver Cross was awarded first, which is impossible with these two versions. This type of bar was - in my experience - used around the turn of the century, so the Dannebrog would normally be Frederik VII, Christian IX or Frederik VIII versions. /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
