Two of those naval badges look like the inspiration for the Imperial German Naval wound badge. The orders are of course great as well. If you have never had a change to visit this museum, it is a must see!

Hello Vatjan;

Do you know what that badge is under the medal bar? Was there a caption? I have that badge and I've been wondering for years what it was?

Thank you.

Yes that one. Sorry I didn't describe the badge, I thought I could paste the photo. Thanks on the ID. I've never followed up on that one before, but seeing it here made me think of it.

I'm going to Brussels this fall with my wife, I hope I get a chance to go to this museum!

Thank you again for the photos.
