Mecklenburg-Strelitz Greifen Orden

[Nicolas7507]

Dear Members,

I recently acquired a ribbon bar with the Ritterkreuz ohne Schwerter des Greifenorden. On Wikipedia the Greifenorden is stated as the highest order of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

Could someone make a rough estimate how many Greifenorden where awarded? 

Best regards,

Nicolas

 

PS: I will post pictures, as soon as the bar arrives

Hi Nicolas,

at first your informations from Wikipedia is totally wrong.

The Griffin order was the lowest order in both Mecklenburg. (Schwerin and Strelitz)

And a Knight Cross with Swords has never been existed.

I have the complete rolls of all Orders and Medals from Mecklenburg on my files.

Wich information do you require exactly?

Regards

Hi,

You're right I only meant "Ritterkreuz". Sorry.

I wanted to know how often the Ritterkreuz of the griffin order was awarded.

(ca.1000 times?)

As my ribbon bar contains of: EK2, Ritterkreuz des Greifenorden, Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges mit Schwertern.

I guess an identification with the help of your rolls will, sadly, not be possible.

The only thing we know is, that the person lived in 1934 and was an officer?

Best regards,

Nicolas
