Alex K Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I've been studying Von Koesters award list, a seemingly comprehensive list is here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_von_Koester looking at the attached images, there is one which I can't identify from this list, any ideas as to what it, (they) may be? is it one medal with embellishments between the arms, or a more plain cross, possibly with a crown suspension, sitting over another unknown decoration, any help, as usual much appreciated The star is an example of the Order of the Black Eagle with Brilliants regards Alex K Edited November 17, 2017 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91-old-inf-reg Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Could it be a variant of the Grecian Cross of Valor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komtur Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) He is wearing a Domherrenkreuz. And indeed he was Domherr von Naumburg. Edited August 26, 2020 by Komtur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a small question: Was it normal for Koester, Domherr of Naumburg, to wear the Merseburger Domherrenorden instead of the one of Naumburg? Was he maybe Domherr of both churches? Thanks!
