Solomon Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hi gents, I would like to show a really rare little bird from Lippe-Demtold. It´s a Bronze medal with swords (!) from the Leopoldorder Lippe-Detmold. The little bird came in its original green-gray paper case wrapped in paper. On the paper case it´s written "Bronze Med z. L.O. mit Schwerter" This medal with swords was never donated or awarded, but Carl Büsch, Hannover delivered 12 pieces as preproduction to the Prince of Lippe-Detmold. This little fellow is for sure one of these 12 pieces. Hope you like it like me :-) Regards Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Superb, what a lovely thing, I suppose it comes under the label of pattern or trial piece. A nice find. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 @ Paul Yes, it was suggested to Leopold IV., but he decided not to donate his own order with swords. Nevertheless Carl Büsch, Hannover produced and delivered 12 Bronce medals with swords and 6 Silver medals with swords to Leopold IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
