    Help please with identification fantastic miniature medal chain


    Recommended Posts

    Hmm, seems to me a diplomat from wurttemberg. Sure, before the great war started there was a habit in europe to decorate foreign officers, but the orders (they are all orders, except for the second from the right) are too widespread to belong to an officer. I'd say a ambassador to several countries during his time of work.

    Kind regards Laurentius

    A quick look in the Swedish state calendar of 1914 show the following persons from Württemberg with the order of Vasa. Perhaps it might help narrow it down. I can't access the Hathitrust records so I cannot check for myself. 

     

    Max Ernst Julius von Schillings - Gen.musikdirektör - KVO2kl 1913
    Joseph von Kopf - Bildhuggare - KVO2kl 1897
    Carl Friedrich von Schumacher - Geh.hovråd - KVO2kl 1897
    Ernst Wilhelm von Sieglin - Hovråd - KVO2kl 1913
    Conrad Beijer - Stiftsråd - RVO 1882

    It can't be Schillings. In the 1914 volume he is listed with these decorations, and they don't seem to fit.

    Joseph Kopf is listed, but without any list of decorations. The remaining three are not found (at least not recognized by the OCR).
