This is a miniature which was worn on a soldier’s tie chain. The miniature is for the infantry’s annual regimental shooting competition.
Each year a shooting competition for infantry/cavalry and artillery regiments was held within the German Army. The regiments that compiled the best records received a special prize from the Kaiser. The prize was in the form of a sleeve badge, which was proudly worn by the regiment’s members (enlisted and NCO). The miniature replicates the 1905 badge. It appears at one time the crown may have snapped off, then was re-soldered back into place. I have NEVER seen such an example before.

Boutonnieres were quite popular among veterans so that they might display their Great War decorations. Here is a particularly interesting example, with four different ribbons.
Two ribbons are for the Iron Cross, which indicates the man was awarded the 1914 Iron Cross in both the 1st and 2nd Class.
Ribbons also appear for the Hindenburg Cross and the Friedrich Medal from Saxony. Attached to the front of the ribbons is an enamel Iron Cross 1st Class device. Some chipping shows on the enamel surface.
A high-grade Gold Army Wound Badge miniature is also present. It was awarded for five or more wounds or the loss of a limb in service to his country.

What I find interesting is that even though it sports only two miniature decorations that is the way the example was manufactured. It is not a matter of missing decorations. It was designed to show only the two decorations that we share with you today……

This is a very special boutonniere for a man who served Baden and the Reich from 1870 until 1918, and was still alive in 1933 to receive the Hindenburg Cross!
