DUCHY OF NASSAU – LONG SERVICE AWARD – 1834 – 22 YEARS

This long service award is for 22 years (XXII) long and true service (TRUE DIENST LAHRE) and comes from the Duchy of Nassau. The decoration was given to NCO’s and enlisted men. This very small state gave a very limited number of decorations.

This decoration was first issued beginning in 1834 and continued through 1864. Like Hannover, Nassau was absorbed in 1866. Its independence was lost when it was absorbed by Prussia during the war with Austria.

This decoration is a minimum of 186 years old. Very few of them were ever awarded. The medal is in remarkably fine condition and retains its original wide, light blue ribbon.

This represents the very first decoration that we have ever offered from Nassau.

    BAVARIA – HONOR BADGE -1866 – CIVILIAN DOCTORS – AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN WAR

    Erinnerungszeichen für Verdienstliche Leistungen im Kriegsjahre 1866 für Zivilärzte (Honor Badge for Meritorious Service in War-Year 1866 by Civilian Doctors), which was awarded during the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. It is a pinback award that measures 2″ x 1 3/4,” and is shaped like an oversized cross. Each arm boasts a caduceus, the ancient sign of a physician. In the cross’s center is the war’s year, 1866. König Ludwig (Mad) II was Bavaria’s monarch during the conflict. It is written that he was greatly affected when he witnessed Bavarian soldiers suffering alongside their Austrian, Württembergian, and Saxon compatriots after their defeat by Prussia and her allies. In addition to the creation of this decoration, Ludwig also instituted the Military Merit Order, Military Service Cross, and the 1866 Bavarian War Honor Medal for the same war. This very rare decoration was for doctors who served Bavaria during the conflict. Only forty were created.

    IMPERIAL GERMANY, THIRD REICH, AND OTHER COUNTRIES – PERIOD FOLIO – DECORATION ID’S & RIBBON SAMPLES

    This is a wonderful research tool for collectors who want to identify ribbons from both the Imperial German Period and the Third Reich. It is a folio featuring small ribbon samples and the names of the appropriate matching decorations. Please note, it was produced during the Third Reich (1933-1945). It is a very rare research tool. I had heard about these before, but I have never actually seen one until now.

    It unfolds like a map, with a total of twelve panels upon which the ribbons appear. In addition to the German ribbons, small sections appear for Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Finland, Spain, Russia (VERY small), and Italy. The ribbons are organized by state during the Imperial Period so one can compare the folio’s ribbons to those on the decorations. Its greatest use, perhaps, might be identifying ribbons on ribbon bars.

    This is an invaluable research tool. It is a pleasant touch that it comes from the time when these ribbons and decorations were actually worn.
