Hi Igor,

 

What do you mean "these two orders came from the same house"?

Were they awarded to the same person?  ..or anything else.

I know the history of the early Order of St Alexander. It was offered to me twice by two different sellers before you got a hold of it

Perhaps Igor meant House of Rothe.

Hi New World,

 

I assumed the same, however Igor has to clarify.

Also, I can not see the connection of this post with the topic

Igor, just because these awards were sold by the same dealer does not mean they belonged to the same person. I am not sure how these medals are connected, I see no mention of it in the listings.

Hi New World,

 Perhaps Igor means something else

Let's him clarify his point

As far i can comprehend his main point is whether the Order of St Alexander was awarded to ladies with special for ladies attachments and ribbons

I do not know this answer and Igor might get more hints to solve this mystery

 

Cheers

Hi Igor,

You are on the right track

Nice find

[Igor Ostapenko]

Hi Peter, 

Thank You ?

Well, yes this photo could lead somewhere, but you also have to keep in mind that members of royal family had means to have any type of a ribbon made specifically for them. Just because a princes wore something in certain fashion does not mean it was a common practice.

I would focus my efforts on finding examples for wearing such crosses by people outside of royal family and high nobility.

[Igor Ostapenko]

In my first post, I gave an example of the awarding of three women, one was awarded the cross with swords over the cross in 1913 and two Romanian women from the palace service in Romania in 1934 ( all - order VI class )

Hi Peter, 

 

when the time comes I will re-read the list of awardees again.

but I only have access to the list from 1908 to 1938.

 

I'm looking for a list from 1881 to 1908
