Thanks CB,
That is most helpful, does it suggest any date? Ron. |

No way to date with certainty without provenance, but it is likely early 20thC., possibly slightly earlier.

Yes I was thinking around 1900-10.
Been reading up on the crest, 16 petals reserved for the Emperor and 14 petals for other members of the Imperial family. Also that the Ho-ou phonex was associated with the Empress. I have a couple of large hanging scrolls reguarding the Emperors enthronement and hat, will try and dig them out and post them. Ron. |

Royal Houseorder of Hohenzollern & Laidies decorations 4. Campaign medals and military awards 5. Long service, Red-Cross- and other civil awards Thanks for looking and kind regards Markus |

Hello Markus.
This is a wonderful collection. A privilege to see. If I could ask to see anything in detail it would be the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern. It is one of my favourite Orders, especially those awarded during the World War 1 period - with swords! : ) Kind regards, Malcolm. |

Hello Malcolm,
here it is: Silver/gild version, awarded from November 1916 until the end of the war. Before 11/16 they were still produced in genuine Gold. This one is marked 938 (Silver content 938/1000) and a cut W for Johann Wagner & Sohn, Hofjuwelier in Berlin. Others in 938 Silver were made by Sy&Wagner, Godet and Friedländer. Also an interesting item from WW1 is the Star 1st class Crown-Order with swords, also produced after 11/1916, the "golden" parts like the swords are Silver/gild. This one was awarded mid 1918 to General der Infanterie Martin Chales de Beaulieu when he retired from active service. Kind regards Markus |
