Deruelle Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 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 RegardsChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian L Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 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.

Deruelle Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi Christian, I think of Knight cross 2nd class of the order of Henry the Lion of BrunswickRibbon from Lippe is more pale than BrunswickChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I would agree. Lippe House Order, not Brunswick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 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!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 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...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
