Yankee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hello Can anybody shed some light on the Golden Lion & Wilhem Order 1816-66 variant knight examples that have that transparent enamel design. The vast majority I come across are the opaque ( cloudy ) enamel type. When were they awarded and by which jeweler. Possible Elector Frederick William awarded them in exile 1866-75 from Austria. The quality, weight and size are nearly identical to both knights. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Another variant of the Wilhelm Order. This one too is translucent but with curved raised arms, Two of the arms have been restored which are the genuine ones I don't recall. Please excuse the scan, came from a horrible foto, Further info needed on this type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
