Nicolas7507 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited January 16, 2017 by Nicolas7507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 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 Seeheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited January 16, 2017 by Nicolas7507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 1671 Knight Crosses You are right, usually is here no chance to get a right name. regards Seeheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
