Hi gents,

inspired by the feedback on my royal ribbonbar http://gmic.co.uk/topic/73145-royal-8-place-ribbon-bar-lippe-detmold/
I would like to show you a selection of my photos of prince Leopold IV. of Lippe-Detmold in a chronological order:

2) 1899 with a miniature chain

3) 1901 with princess Bertha (throne proclamation)

5) 1909 in the uniform of the 55th regiment (my favorite photo)

6) 1914 with princess Bertha

7) 1915 in the uniform of the 55th regiment

8 ) 1916 with the previously shown ribbonbar

9) ca 1917 in the uniform of KUK 12th Feldjäger (field hunter) uniform

10) 1919 again with princess Bertha (statement: last picture as a couple / Bertha died in 1919).

11) 1922 with his new wife (and cousin) princess Anne

12) 1932 with princess Anne

That was very interesting, he was a man with great taste. What I noticed and think is interesting in picture 6 he wears the Bavarian Hubertus star in precedence bevore the Prussian Black Eagle star, although Lippe was more or less surrounded by Prussia.

EDIT: Inspecting it again I saw it is a RED EAGLE star - so the precedence makes sence

Here is a closeup snapshot from another photo, where he wears the same uniforms / awards.

Hi Roman,

very nice.

With regard to Lippe I only have this photo of the other principality, Schaumburg-Lippe.

It´s a private photo that shows Prinz Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe on his tricycle in the year of 1911, 5 years old.
