Wild Card Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Keith B,With regard to your posts #141 & #142, I can?t help but wonder if the two pinback crosses are superimposed. They are both straight up and down, absolutely head on and there are no shadows on them.We have seen examples of this being done in other photographs, usually with PlM?s. I do not mean this as criticism (it is not detracting); just a sort of technical point.Best wishes,Wild Card
Deruelle Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Very nice Dond. The enameled look perfect. A very beautiful cross with box. Lucky man Christophe
Paul R Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 I agree!! These are the most beautiful of the first class crosses, IMHO!
Kronenorden Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 ....my new medal from Reuss j.L., 1. Modell 1885-1902 in the perfect case.....
Guest Rick Research Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Even nicer on an Austrian trifold ribbon!
Dave Danner Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Posted in the "Rolls" thread, my contribution to Reuss phaleristics:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1640...st&p=192033Orders and decorations of the Principality of Reuss-Schleiz (Reuss j?ngere Linie) listed in the Amts- und Verordnungsblatt, 1915-1918These are primarily civil decorations, although many are on the war ribbon, and one Lifesaving Medal was to a Flieger for saving the life of an NCO. Mostly awards of the various grades of the Honor Cross, the merit crosses and medals, plus 4 Lifesaving Medals, 3 Medals for Art and Science, and one with a really long name I can't remember right now (for females for war aid).I also should be adding a supplement with non-Reuss decorations also gazetted in the Amts- und Verordnungsblatt. These are mainly from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, along with a few from Saxony, Bavaria and the other Thuringian states.

Christian J Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) Here is a late one to this thread. Maybauer made war cross with screw- back. Medal is marked twice 925 cross plate is 500 and screw plate is 800. Private made piece. Feg1. Didn't know that Meybauer ventured into other decorations. Edited January 3, 2009 by RaZpuTiN
Deruelle Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 First time for me I see such piece with vault screw back. Very impressive cross. For info do you have the box to go with this splendid cross ?Chrisotphe
Ferg1 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I don't have the box unfortunately but it certainly has all the trademarks of a Maybauer. Ferg1.
Noor Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 here is my two Reuss ribbon bars...Nice one with two golden LS devices.Korvettenkapit?n Max Vollrath, Stabsingenieur SMS Nassau
sef1962 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi just got this my first Reuss medal- Silver Reuss merit medal with swords + case
Beau Newman Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 The 1st Class, with swords. This is a wartime silver gilt piece. The ribbon is for a knight but, that's what was on it when I got it. It will have to do unless I luck up on the correct size.
Beau Newman Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 The reverse of the 1st Class with Swords.
Deruelle Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 What a beautiful cross. Do you know how many crosses like this one were awarded during the war ?Christophe
Beau Newman Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 As far as I know the number awarded is unknowm but, it must have been very low. This grade was awarded to Obersts through Major Generals so, it probably went mostly to a few regimental and divisional commanders related to Reuss units.
Deruelle Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Hi everybody, It's an old thread but how interresting. I have put some Reuß items through forum and I decide to reunite them here. I begin with photo First one is Hauptmann Henning with Reuß Ehrenkreuz 3. Kl. m X Christophe Edited June 23, 2011 by Deruelle
Deruelle Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 An unknown officer which have a nice Reuß Ehrenkreux 1. Kl m X at the neck Christophe
Deruelle Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Leutnant Leo Albert with Reuß and Schwarzburg medals on his ribbon bar. Under his iron cross 1st class he proudly wore the War Merit Cross of Reuß Christophe
Deruelle Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Oberstleutnant Grimm. Note that he wore the War Merit Cross and the Officer cross with X of Reuß (very rare cross) Christophe
