    Gents, I've got two questions regarding German Imperial miniature chains, which might seem obvious, but still unclear to me and perhaps you can help me out.

    I've encountered two types i.e. one with two pins for attaching the set and the decorations going in precedence from left to right. The other type is with a metal button on the right, precedence going from right to left. The 1st type I assume would be positioned above the left upper breast pocket on civilian clothes, but what about the 2nd type i.e. where is the metal button supposed to be inserted? Further more, what's the reason for the difference in order of precedence?

    Hello Peter J,

    The metal button would be inserted in the buttonhole on the lapel of the coat, or jacket, with the securing pin placed to align the medals in line with the outside edge of the lapel. This would follow the alignment of a frak bar; hence the reverse precedence.

    Best wishes,

    Wild Card
