Wild Card Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 RAO!Congratulations on your badge with the Luisen Order ribbon - as rare as they come for sure. I had wondered if these badges were awarded to women as well as men; and now we have the answer.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komtur Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 The award documents had NO information about the ribbon to be used by the person awarded with this badge.The document to Major Friedrich von Dehn-Rotfelser: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 It is spread out among several banks and with friends who can keep pieces safely. As a matter of fact, I am awaiting the arrival of two more pieces later today, which I will post on this thread.I apologize for the delay. One caveat - make sure friends are available when you need your pieces. Here is an award that, refer to post #9, could not have been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 which I think brings up an interesting point. If a recipient?s designated award was an RAO or a KO, and that award was on the commemorative ribbon, would the anniversary badge be on the commemorative ribbon as well?

If a recipient's designated award was an RAO or a KO, and that award was on the commemorative ribbon, would the anniversary badge be on the commemorative ribbon as well?On principle that was possible. But the commemorative ribbon was given only for service in the Franco-Prussian war after 1871 for the KO3/4 (and the General Honour Decoration) with or without the Red Cross. To be about 35 years without decoration of any other Prussian order and on the other hand be near enough to the court and the persons of Kaiser and Kaiserin to get the 1906-badge is very unlikely. Not impossible! If your badge is original - a very rare bird Kind regards,Komtur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one more on Luisen order ribbon - in wear! Saw this postcard by coincidence on eBay. The ladys wearing uniforms is odd. Wearing medal bars is even more odd.

I knew that such pieces existed. I seem to remember seeing one that was mounted on a chain along with some other decorations; but can not remember where. I think that it is strange that we do not see more of them.Best wishes, Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hello friends, Lets keep this thread alive! Here is my newest mini chain. Best. Daniel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Cool, the minis are not common. I still have my allegedly fake one, I 'awarded' it to my wife on her 25th anniversary in her job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
