Signalcorps45 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hello to everyone, Can someone please give me the official title of this medal? Thank you Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That is the Member's Eagle of the Royal (Prussian) Hohezollern House Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Correct, it's an "Adler der Inhaber des (Königlichen) Hausordens von Hohenzollern", an award mostly given to teachers and such for long and good service. About 11,000 awarded according to Ludvigsen statistics. Possible additions for these eagles are jubilee numbers ("50" or "60"), but no swords, bows, crowns or anything else.

Signalcorps45 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Beau and Saschaw, Thank you for your help. Yes, I got this medal this weekend at the SOS show. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't know by whom this is done (automatically?) but this thread is tagged wrongly with "HOHENZOLLERN" - it should read "PRUSSIA" instead, as this is a royal Prussian award.

I fixed the spelling of the topic title and changed the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter J Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Guys, I'm curious where this little 16mm mini fits in the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Guys, I'm curious where this little 16mm mini fits in the equation. Well Peter J, what you have there is a nice little mini to the above decoration. Of course, you realize that it is on an incorrect ribbon, but what, to me, is more important is it's plain reverse with the Godet mark. Never seen one like this before - very nice! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter J Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks WC, I knew I could count on you. Just like Dean, I incorrectly assumed it was related to Hohenzollern, but couldn't figure out the lack of rectangles on the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signalcorps45 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Peter J, Nice mini, I have never seen one. Thanks for posting. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The lack of a Hohenzollern crest is curious, to say the least. Without it, all we have is a basic Prussian eagle. What purpose does it serve, other than a simple patriotic “pin” of some sort? As I said, I’ve never seen one like this before; and marked, as it is, to Godet... strange, for sure.

Peter J Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I guess I'm back on square 1 again. The question is, if indeed a patriotic item, how was it most like worn, on a neck-chain? A brachelet would most likely ruin this fine enamel work in a everyday like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
