The third neck order worn in this portrait is a Komturkreuz of Mecklenburg's Greifenorden, but I don't know when he got it, nor do I know if he received it from Mecklenburg-Schwerin or from Mecklenburg-Strelitz. Besides usually being from different makers, these would not differ from each other anyway...

Are you sure? I cannot find any "Mueller" (nor a "Müller" with fitting first names) in the list published by Markus Bodeux on the DGO homepage. Also, it's irritating he doesn't wear it...

Thanks so much, my mistake, of course only 2nd Class (1870).
