Solomon Posted February 23, 2017 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

ccj Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Very interesting, no wonder I've never seen one.
paul wood Posted March 2, 2017 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
Solomon Posted March 3, 2017 Author 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.
