SEHO Saxe Altenburg Ernst II merit medals

[Alan]

Hi Guys,

I would like to find out a little more about this award.

I know these came marked with  designer O. Pech and sometimes with maker L. Chr. Lauer, Nürnberg 

Is there away to tell the award types, ie were they always made from silver and marked silber 990, and the earlier types from the later?

Why some have the makers name and some do not. I think Lauer was the sole maker but not positive.

Many thanks

I find the merit medals of the SEHO to be completely confusing, and this is after spending a lot of time on them. Depending on the awarding Duchy, they came in genuine silver, base metals, with conventional suspension and with the wide ribbon attachment etc.
