JapanX Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 Probable owner Prince Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg (1844 - 1932)
utopis Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Now something very special IMG_4761.JPG Wow! Pay special attention to the incredibly rare Montenegrin Order of St. Peter
JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Aha! Not to mention bar-version of white eagle Edited August 10, 2014 by JapanX
utopis Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Aha! Not to mention bar-version of white eagle That is of course a real exotic sighting, too. Though I wonder whats with the positioning of the médaille militaire?
JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Well, maybe this is because he died at Biarritz on 6 September 1932. Homage, so to speak
saschaw Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Wow... one hardly ever sees any Imperial Russian medal bars over here in Germany... I'm speechless. What a treasury! Here's my modest contribution - one I used to have, years ago:
saschaw Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks, Nick! That was really nice... I'm still missing it.
JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Now something special for you Sascha. Remember this thread? http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/59161-kulm-cross-portrait-gallery-of-cavaliers/page-2 Now take a look at this medal bar (currently in russian private collection) Obverse
saschaw Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Two actual neck crosses on one early 18th century medal bar? Sorry, but that's too much!
JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Two actual neck crosses on one early 18th century medal bar? I`d say very russian
paja Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Now something very special IMG_4761.JPG Very interesting! To me personally especially because of many Serbian and Montenegrin decorations. Apart from scarce Order of St. Petar Utopis spotted also Montenegrin Golden Bravery Medal Miloš Obilić and Nikola's 50 Years of Rule Medal. Serbian 1877-78 Golden Bravery Medal! and Commemorative Medal of the 1876-77-78 War for Liberation and Independence.
