Komtur Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 @ Komtur: nice! Is it some sort of official or semi-official prussian award for long service (50 years) in the forestry domain? No. This is the so called Hofjagdehrenzeichen (OEK 1820/5). It was founded in 1909 to the 50th anniversary of the Hofjagdorden - Der sehr edle Orden vom weißen Hirschen Sancti Huberti. There were three classes of the Hofjagdehrenzeichen. All of these are very scarce: 1st class 2, 2nd class 7 and 3rd class 17 awarded decorations. The Kaiser is wearing on the portrait one of the two 1st class Hofjagdehrenzeichen. They were only worn by the imperial hunting party of 25 persons and only on the uniform, created for these people. I got in Gunzenhausen a 3rd class. Regards, Komtur.
