the next crazy medal group.....

[Yankee]

Gentlemen,

How about one of these (third from right)? Imperial Russian medal for zeal; I think that's what it's called. They show up from time to time on Imperial German groups.

Your bar certainly belonged to a man of some importance, received the small Nicolas ll medal for zeal in gold Thanks for showing.

Sincerely

Yankee

Heiko, is the thread starting bar still yours? I hope so ...

I found the Serbian cross on eBay with some information, but if these are right and for what it's worth, don't know ...

Thank you Jacky,

Aside from the Brunswick connection, I really like the "foreign" decorations on this group - not the usual. Unfortunately, I've never gotten an identification on it. I rather suspect that it belonged to a minor member of the Brunswick court or even household staff.

Here is a better look at the entire group; front and back.

Thank you again and best wishes,

I am quite sure, the bar belongs to a member of the brunswick court staff whith the charge of a "Lakai". I suppose, you can identify him, searching in the "Hof- und Staatshandbuch".

Good luck!

Here another interesting bar with an Imperial Russian medal, the little silvermedal "F?r Diensteifer".

The bar is from a member of the oldenburg court, "Kammerdiener Thie".

Best regards

Since we are talking about a Russian medal for Zeal, here it is on a Saxon bar.
