Klasse24.6.1914 Kabinettssekret?r Dr.Wilhelm Wehner, DarmstadtGreetingsDaniel There is a Brabant roll??? Don't want to hijack this thread, I'm bringing up my old one from three years ago:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7309
Deruelle Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 Hi @ Komtur. you are a lucky man. congrats. It's very impressive to have such a bar like that in his collection. Christophe
webr55 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Wow, congratulations! Wilhelm Wehner got his Dr. in law from the University of Gießen in 1903. The title of his thesis was "Privatrechtliche Sonderstellung der hessischen Standesherrn".
1812 Overture Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Mr. Komtur’s collection always amazes me! envy
Great Dane Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Interesting... if you play around in Photoshop with the black & white converter (Photoshop has separate sliders for R, G, B, C, M, Y and K), you can try to recreate how old cameras 'saw' colors back then. Most modern B & W converters just average the R, G and B values. Here is the result with less G, C, and M and more B compared to the photo from back then Edited July 26, 2020 by Great Dane 2
David M Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 I still think the crown on the marriage medal is one of the finest I have ever seen
saschaw Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) I love happy endings! A group we feared might have been lost forever, reappears more than a decade later - just like a phoenix! It took me a while to notice the Bavarian St. Michael is mounted with an improper ribbon. I'm not sure, but wouldn't the LD2 rather be the Prussian type, as Dr. Wehner was an officer? Hessen-Darmstadt's (as Baden's!) Reserve- and Landwehr-Dienstauszeichnung was for EM and NCOs only. So, another improper ribbon, I'd assume - nothing unheard of, especially with those petty states' long service awards! By the way, I took the liberty to merge Christophe's first thread from 2005 with his second 2009 attempt and also added the mystery solution to the thread title... Edited April 24, 2023 by saschaw
