Guest Rick Research Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Still mining the Traveling Museum's 2010 festival of miniatures chains, folks. Here you see one of the greatest rarities of Prussian awards--can you spot it before the text comes up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 And the flip side. If you were thinking "Wow! This guy must have been famous!" Uh... nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 And now as much of his epic story as is currently known to me. Still lots of gaps in his career... like what he DID after ... 1890 besides artsy stuff... and when he died. Did you figure out from the "impossible" (without ribbons showing) combination what the key GERMAN rarity was? And how about that British Ethiopia campaign medal!!!

Komtur Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The key seems to be that boring prussian Red eagle 4th class? Regards, Komtur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komtur Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) And now as much of his epic story as is currently known to me. Still lots of gaps in his career... As a start as always Wikipedia? He belongs to the 100 wealthiest Germans of his time. Reason enough to become a Freiherr. I am quite sure, that a great painting of him is to be seen in the Deutschen Historischen Museum in Berlin. Unfortunately I can not find the foto I made of it a few years ago. Regards, Komtur. PS: The painting in the DHM is the one to be seen in the Wikipedia-Link.
