The male decendents of the Reuss family were mostly named Wilhelm (maybe all of them?).

As already stated, the male descenants of this family were mostly all named Heinrich, not Wilhelm. The last ruling Fürst of Reuss zu Schleiz was Heinrich XXVII; the last ruling Fürst of Reuss zu Greiz was Heinrich XXIV, and there's also Heinrich XXXIX, Fürst Reuss zu Köstritz.

They're all listed on this site http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/reuss.html

It is Bavarian and says Treu in Not. If it is military or civil I don't know. I picked it up while in Bavaria last year.

Here is the backside. Now that I think of it it might be for fire service.

Thanks!

Coudl anyone second Rolf on this?...by the flame-figures I really tend to agree...it is as beautiful in its simplicity as the other fire service cross we saw a couple of months ago was in its detail (with some kind of saint on the medal of the cross, remeber?)
