German miniatures

[GM1]

A miniature set of an Oldenburg medical non-commissioned (?) officer of the Landwehr (he wears the 2nd class for years of service). He had to participate in the European southeastern front during the WWI. The set was made after 1934 (it carries the Hindenburg). He won among others the medal of the Austrian and the Prussian Red Cross.

Here is my most interesting Bavarian favorite miniature medal bar. 
I've already introduced them somewhere here together with the 
big medal bar. Bavarian Military Merit Medal in Silver for 1849 
or 1866 or 1870/71. Silver civil service medal, commemorative medal 
1870/71, 1866 and 1849, service award cross 1st class 
for 40 years of service. In addition, the picture of the wearer 
wearing this miniature medal bar.

It doesn't get much better than that one.

Here is a single miniature in my collection. 

Knight of the Albrechts-orden with crown. What's special with it is that it is awarded to a Swede. 

Architect Johan Ludvig Peterson

 

I also have his rosette that shows the Albrechts-orden and the Swedish North Star order and Order of Vasa. 

 

Is it possible to find when Peterson was awarded the Albrechts-orden? Does a roll exist?
