dedehansen Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hello Gentlemen, recently I got this nice miniature. IMO it is a Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn under the reign of kong Frederic VII. It came from a family with name Bock from the village Nübbel near my hometown Rendsborg. Do there exist awardlist an is it possible to get further informations ?

Great Dane Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hi Andreas, Nice purchase. You are right in ID'ing it. Awarded during the reign of King Frederik VII (1848-1863). The only lists of recipients are the various Court- and State Handbooks (Hof- og Statskalenderen), but they are not 100% accurate (e.g. if a recipient received the award and then died in between two volumes of the handbook, he wouldn't be in there). Unfortunately I don't have my handbooks at hand... A lot of these 'Hæderstegn' were awarded for the first Danish-Prussian war 1848-50 to NCOs and lower ranks (mostly due to a lack of other decorations - officers would receive the knight cross). And of course, the miniatures were a private purchase. /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hi Michael, thanks for yours additional infos, but I don´t think that it was an award for 1848 - 50. I got the whole lot from 4 - 5 persons from the family Bock and it seems that nothing is missing. It was told to me that he was a shipbilder on his own shipyard in Nübbel, also there wasn´t a compain medal for 1848 - 50. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 One small correction: It is actually called "Dannebrogsmændenes Hæderstegn" (the name was changed to "Dannebrogordenens Hæderstegn" i the 1950s with some changes in the statutes as well). /Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
