VtwinVince Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I would guess a Prinzen spange, of the type favored by members of the royalty in the latter half of the 19th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hallo Gents, Possibly the only way to mount 16+ awards on one spange Hate to think of the damage done to fragile enamel Just to make a fashion statement.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Hello Naxos:Yes, there is one (1) medal group mounted in this fashion out there. I believe that it is at the Burg Hohenzollern and that it belonged to Wilhelm I (if my memory serves correctly).Best regards,"SPM"Here is a link to information regarding Burg Hohenzollern: http://www.preussen.de/de/heute/burg_hohenzollern.html Edited March 21, 2008 by Schie?platzmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Dear forumites,If you want to see the real medal bar of Kaiser Wilhelm I, I suggest you to visit the Hohenzollern's castle of Hechingen... A great bar... it looks even better in flesh!Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cole Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I would second that! Burg Hohenzollern has a great display of medals in the Schatzkammer. Mostly from Kaiser Wilhelm I, Wilhelm II, and other von Preussen family members. Another get display is at Hohenschwangau in Fuessen, the tourist trap by Neuschwanstein. Awesome display of Bavaria stuff. Schloss Hohenzollern in Hechingenm has a nice but small display of Proncely Hohenzollern medals (small meaning I almost missed it in the tiny display case)All three are worth the trip if you're in the neighborhood.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
