Hi David,

one very important information:

The Honor Cross III. and IV. class (and of course the upper classes also) Schaumburg-Lippe and Lippe-Detmold are the same till 1889

Both show at the reverse the chiffre "LA" in the center of the order, which stands for Leopold III. (Prince of Lippe-Detmold) and Adolph Georg (Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe).

These orders are very rare, all numbers of awards are less than 100.

And some orders were given back to the "Staatsministerium" after both principalities were divided.

Greetings

Solomon
