Old mini group

[mravery]

Hello All,

A friend of mine just picked this mini group up and I thought I would post it to share with you.

It's a tad older than most of you may have interest... but the historical perspective makes it very cool.

Würtembergian, Commander of the 102nd line-batallion in the napoleonic wars. The french Legion of honour commanders cross(knight of the
order) presented to him 1817 when he served under French colours ! He took part on the Prussian/Russian alliance against Napoleon in 1812 because he was awarded the second class red eagle and two high class zaristic orders as well. Also knight of the Maltesers, presumeably in a commanders rank.

Absolutely fantastic Mini-group. About that time, this mini-group dates from, they started to become a fashion. Its nearly impossible to find such early Miniatures nowadays. Great. Thanks for sharing, Mark.

Thanks Mark... it should be possible to find more information on someone like this and maybe even a photo or portrait drawing of him wearing his awards?? Cheers, Torsten.
