Netherlands Dutch Orders & Medal Producers

[James Hoard]

Does anyone have a list of producers of Dutch medals and orders for the period ca 1900-1949?

For some time now, I have been trying to find information on the orders and decorations of the Dutch protected principalities and sultanaes in Indonesia during the period. Despite quite a lot of photographic evidence of unique decorations sported by such potentates, I have been insgularly unable to find any information about these decorations. Neither in Indoneisa monarchist groups nor medal collecting groups in Holland, or even publications, have I been able to find anything. So the last throw at the die is to see if I can contact those who would have normally produced decorations for the Dutch government, to see if they have any records of producing any for the local rulers in the Dutch East Indies.

With thanks,

James

Might also be worth contacting the Het Loo museum of Orders in the Netherlands, in Apeldoorn they are very nice and may have some archive material.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Thank you all for your kind replies, especially Paul for the very useful list of manufacturers.

I have already taken up his suggestion and written to the curator at Het Loo.

Cheers,
