Help with determining the recipient of medals: Denmark?

[svapr]

Hello,

I would like some advice. I have these awards. 

Is it:
Luxembourg, Duchy. A Merit Order Of Adolph Of Nassau, Silver Merit Cross, C.1900?
Denmark: Christian IX, The Royal Medal of Recompense
Russia, Imperial: A Medal For Zeal, Silver Grade, C.1900

I have found that the Danish medal was awarded in about 240 cases. Can anyone advise me on what sources I could use to trace the recipient?

Hi svapr,

 

I like your little bar, unfortunately I can´t help you.

 

Kind regards

Very nice bar!

 

Unfortunately no lists exist for the Danish medal. The gold version was often named on the rim, so some lists were kept.

Generally the medal of recompense could be awarded at the sovereign's discretion - often during state visits - and were rarely documented.

If the merit cross shows "1858" instead of "1860" on the reverse, it was awarded in 1909 or later.

Hallo, on the reverse is "1858". See photo.
