aubagne98 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Hi there, from a man who died in 1903 there is only one of twelve awards left. For five of six Prussian and Wuerttemberg meanwhile we found out that the regulations said that the award has to be returned. The man also got the Dutch Order of Lion. Does anybody know if there was a obligation of return for this order? Thanks. Michael
Odulf Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Yes, all orders of knight hood have to be returned to the Chancellery of Dutch Orders after the recipient died. The records are kept by the Chancellery and a copy is sent to the council where recipient lives. When recipient dies, the Council sends a notification to the Chancellery, and the Chancellery sends a letter to the decendants, requesting the return of the order (badge). In 90% of the cases the badges are returned. This does not apply to the Medals of Honour of the Order of Oranje-Nassau.
