Allan J Woodliffe Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Can anyone tell me what a 3rd class Guelphic Order with bow signifies? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I thought there was an article on the medalnet site, but I cannot find it, so I probably confused something. German wikipedia article just states it was introduced on October 1st, 1849. It does indeed seem unclear for what reason: Late Arnhard Graf Klenau, in his amazing 2008 textbook "Orden in Deutschland und Österreich. Band II: Deutsche Staaten (1806–1918). Teil I: Anhalt–Hannover" (p. 216) assumes those awards were related to the revolutionary events of 1848/1849, as none were awarded at later points. It is noteworthy only seven such bows were awarded, all as an addition to persons that were already holding the knight's cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan J Woodliffe Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 Thank you for that. My apologies for late response, I had missed it for some unknown reason. I also have a query about the 25 year Wilhelm Cross of Hanover, which I will post on the forum. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
