Here is a picture taken from the forthcoming Hermann Historica auction (preview pdf file):

What's the second one from the right on the top bar?

Seems to be a Hohenlohe House order?!

The matching cross is the third one on the mini chain (behind the EKs), so this set might belong to some of these noble v. Hohenlohe guys?!

I love those Hohenlohe Orders, but can hardly remember having seen any yet ..

(compare OEK 1015-1020).

Are they making any claims to the identification of who this group belonged to, or is it just being sold anonymously?

I never put out information ahead of sales which profits some strangers (unknown seller & auction house)-- especially if they didn't bother to do their own homework--

but with the Hohenzollern and Meiningen rolls I've already completed (have none for Reuss)...

I do have the actual Waldeck rolls here as well but they are as horrid as Schaumburg-Lippe's so I've tossed them aside as "already done" by the late Erhard Roth in 1998.

I don't know what the description will be when the catalog comes out. In the one page preview it's only descibed as belonging to a highly decorated WWI officer.

I understand your bit of letting them do their own homework

Just wanted to show it, that's all...
