Christian J Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Here is a sum up Mr. Lundstr?m wrote a long time ago on another forum. All cred goes to him.It was created on the 100th birthday anniversary of then then reigning Prince's grandfather's birthday. There were 90 silver gilt medals for Royal guests, 300 in silver for current officers of Fusileer Regiment 40, retired regimental officers, court and civil service officials, and clergymen. 610 bronze medals were awarded to FR 40's top NCOs, lower level Beamten, teachers, pensioners, former servants and soldiers who had served under the old Prince, and for the banners of Veterans Associations named after the old Prince.

Komtur Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Was this possible a ebay-buy a couple of months back? I was the runner up in that auction. Nice that a forum member got it.You?re right. I got it "last minute" on the airport internet terminal before leaving for holidays. Thank you for not bidding to high .Greetings, Komtur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 My case is the very same as yours, but with an added little bonus inside the lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 While we are on the subject, I feel that I should post a gold example. I must say, however, that I can not exactly duplicate the exact color of the gold. In reality it is considerably lighter.Komtur,That is a superb little group that you have there - pure Hohenzollern, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
