    Three medal bar (EK2, HK, Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice)


    Recommended Posts

    Hi Detlev,

    This medal and box were issued during the reign of Pius XI.

    PEeP Crosses that were issued during the reign of a Pope had the crest of that pope on the lid of the box, crosses issued during the Sede Vacante generaly carried the badge with two crossed keys.

    I made a mistake, Detlev, it is Pius X.

    For the sake of determination (and with thanks to Wikipedia) I will show all the crests of the popes between 1878 and 2012...:

    Outstanding thread!

    I have been culling the Papal monthly encyclical which here is still bound in the Bishops Palace and goes back to the 1870s. the Magazine details Papal awards and so far I have @ 450 German names up to 1910.

    From what I can see, fewer awards went to Germany than Ireland, so awards seem to have been rationed informally by Bishoprics, or even ArchBishoprics.

    :Cat-Scratch:Hello!? Is it possible to refine the recipient to a list of possibles? :jumping:

    The Prussian Court and State Handbooks listed these, but the army Rank Lists did not. A non-oficer, non-civil servant would be hopeless, and an officer/civil servant with ONLY an EK also hopeless.
