Is it the ribbon of the order of the Henry the Lion of Brunswick ? If it is the case, it's so nice. Great bar

thanks christophe - added a close up of the last ribbon (i would guess lippe - because of the golden "wire" in the borders)

but no idea on the decoration which is represented by the ribbon in this case.

Hi Christian,

I think of Knight cross 2nd class of the order of Henry the Lion of Brunswick

Ribbon from Lippe is more pale than Brunswick

Christophe

I would agree. Lippe House Order, not Brunswick.

Great bar, Christian! I think I have its cousin!

Yes, Lippe House Order with the metallic threads. No way to tell with a Major's bar like this, "the usual" Prussian trio and ONE House Order.

But what MINTY Old Styles!!!!

You always wonder about these Prussian "trios" with one "foreign" order.... Lipee on one, Reuss on the other........ how did this happen? Held a door open at the right time? Lit the requisite number of cigars/cigarettes/Tiparellos at the state dinner?? I always wonder, but perhaps I'm just a weirdo......
