Beau Newman Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 How about one from the "other" Lippe. A Schaumburg-Lippe Honor Cross, 2nd Class. "Ludvigsen" shows 362 awards, 84 of which were this later type with the red center enamel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noor Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Not so splendid as Dante's Iron Division Freikorps bar but still one pretty rare Freikorps combination what I think is not so easy to pick up; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Crown Order Medal and Mecklenburg Merit Medal mounted! Matt Rare? I would bet that this bar is probably a one of a kind. Congratulations! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Rare? I would bet that this bar is probably a one of a kind. Congratulations! Thank you Wild Card! Would those medals be on the awards rolls? I am assuming they were awarded pre-1914. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 This has been posted before but, the photos weren't very good. The Meck.-Strelitz Cross for Distinction in War, 1st Class. The # awarded up to 1923 was in the low 100's but this early type by Godet with the added hooks is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes Matt Surely they would be on the rolls. The question is whether those rolls are available. Perhaps another Forum member has the answer. Good luck on your hunt and keep us posted on how it goes. Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those decorations where the whole story “Für Tapferkeit / 1914” is right out there in front of you. I do have a question. Is the color in the picture accurate, or is the lighting giving it something of a slightly yellowish tint? Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Probably the lighting. In hand, it is a white silver color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beau Newman Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Just an example of "Rare" not necessarily needing to break the bank. The Last Type Saxe-Altenburg Golden Ernestine Medal - 63 awarded from 1914 to 1918. 8 with swords on the ribbon were also awarded in 1917 and 1918.

Wild Card Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Posts 340 & 341 - beautiful and yes, very under appreciated. Posts 343 - 346 - I have a case just like that (#343) and have been looking for years for something to put in it. Well, good things never come easily; and as you have illustrated here, the wait will be worth it when the day comes. Thank you and congratulations Gentlemen.
