VtwinVince Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The only thing that looks even remotely good about this piece is the ribbon. And that's repro as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRBeery Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Are these still made? I know this order is still available to be awarded/purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Probably, as that loony 'Prinzessin von Anhalt', or whatever she calls herself, is probably still awarding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Hello, Now the Anhalt Royal Household lineage has been mentioned, can someone explain to me why the PLM was awarded to this recipient: http://prinz-frederic.com/DE/index.php/unsere-familie/hausorden-uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytop Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 This was a self-award like the other decorations on his “uniform”. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd_W Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Indeed the military version, so I guess: He fought some Pimp wars in the 80s or before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKelly Posted Monday at 03:39 Share Posted Monday at 03:39 Thanks to Schießplatzmeister and Bernd_W. That was interesting. An order of Albert the Bear, from the Duchy of Anhalt... I always wondered how it is that all the kings, princes, dukes, barons and margraves all abdicated in November 1918, along with the kaiser, and yet these people insist [with the press's encouragement] on using imaginary Walter Mitty-ish titles. There are no legitimate "nobles" and "royals" in Germany today. It's not a monarchy, and hasn't been for over a century. Here's an image of the culprit mentioned by Schießplatzmeister...

Bernd_W Posted Monday at 13:31 Share Posted Monday at 13:31 In Germany stuff like Graf or Prinz and vom or von became part of the last name in 1919. While in Austria for example, these parts of the name were completely forbidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
