Waldeck Merit Order
Is there anyone who have info about the Waldeck Merit order ?
What I can find the Merit Order 4th class wo Swords was awarded 1896-1918 400-450 times.
Not very common at all , and what I until now have discovered is that at least two Swedish got the Order
One was Knut Badhe working for the Royal Court in Sweden , and he had a lot of different orders ....
And this guy
Forrester Carl Reinhold Hullström born 1862 , he got a RVO in 1901 ? ( Swedish Vasa Orde
I have both 1906 and 1907 and Hullström has the Verdienstkreuz in both of them.
Hullström was forrester in Örbyhus which was owned by the von Rosen family so perhaps the Waldeck's was visiting and hunting on the estate?
Another interesting thing is that Hullström lived in the town of Marma, in a house called "Villa Waldeck". So there is some kind of connection there.
Here is a picture of Hullström.
