lilnuke Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Still doing my research, but I am a little stuck with this one. I am trying to identify the circled award which is listed as a MWK3 per the ranklist. Which award is it? I suspect Knight or a merit cross, but to new to know. Thank you for any assistance. Order of the Wendish Crown is listed has having four classes: Grand Cross Grand Commander Commander Knight It can also be awarded in gold or silver merit crosses.

Dave Danner Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This is the Ritterkreuz: This is the Golden Merit Cross: An officer would receive the order. The merit crosses were for very senior NCOs and their civilian equivalents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurentius Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Here is a picture of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands wearing the Prinzessinenkreuz of the Order. Given the fact that she wears the Order of the Dutch Lion and not the Military Order of William I'd put this picture in the latter part of the 30's. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
