Tom Y Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Prussia's Verdienstkreuz f?r Frauen und Jungfrauen and a 70/71KDM f?r Nichtk?mpfer on Damenschleife.
saschaw Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Gentlemen, we're missing Baden, what a shame ... Here's a "Kreuz f?r freiwillige Kriegshilfe":
Henry 24th Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 A better view of the Cross.Pinpon, very nice thread.All who have contributed - you guys have some wonderful and rare medals.I do not have anything to add to this thread, and if the photo posted is only an EK then I ask one of the administrators to remove this post please. Tom, seeing your magnificent Prussian Verdienstkreuz fur Frauen reminded me of this photo of my Grandmother (Dad's side) Her name was Joanna Hassdenteufel(!) It is widely accepted in the family that this picture was taken in early WW1. At her neck she wears what appears to be an EK or something like it. The centre of which looks to have something in it as well. No bow mount, no neck ribbon...any thoughts?
redcross Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 might I add a Wurtemburg Olga order Wurttemb...ga_Onice topicthanks
Wild Card Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 pinpon590,Thank you for starting this thread. In view of a discussion on another thread, I was thinking along this line - Great minds think alike. My wife has a little collection of ladies awards of which she has graciously agreed to share a couple of pieces which are available for photos.From Saxe-Weimar, a very unusual looking decoration. Ehrenzeichen f?r r?hmliche Tatigkeit, 1870-71.

Kapitular Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 A very interesting thread! I add this one from my former collection of imperial german awards. It is the "Medaille f?r weibliches Verdienst der Herzogon Alexandrine" from Sachsen-Coburg Gotha.
Ulsterman Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I accidentally stumbled across the on-line issue of a German medals magazine on Tuesday and stupidly did not earmark the site. however, on it was a complete roll (49 pages) for the Franco-Prussian wars' EK for Junngfrau etc.. from 2006.Does anyone know where this is/was? Further google searches have resulted in nothing.
