Outstanding mini chain. I just drooled all over my keyboard.

#6 is an Honor Cross 2nd Class. Gilt with white enamel vs. silver.

I suspect not only FR40, but maybe 2GDR or 1GRzF are possibilities. Also, FR40 fought as part of a brigade with IR72, and many officers who were decorated by Hohenzollern were also decorated by a Saxon duchy with the Saxe-Ernestine House Order.

This chain could be traced with the appropriate ranklists. The Belgium and HOH orders would jump off the page.

Hi-all: Thanks for all the great comments and the information . Henke : I looked up the Belgian Decoration ,-- thanks for the lead . Wild Card : I think you question was answered . I hope someone out there has the Rankliste of that timeframe and can find the wearer for me ! Sure would be great ! Thanks again , Bernd .

[DougO]

Ultramnr : I don't mind letting you know what I paid , since I know it was a great buy : I paid $ 275 for this piece of art ---and history ! Bernd .
