The big names always pop up. bavarian Max-Joseph, Baden Karl-Friedrick, etc. I will submit to you that by far, one of even greater scarcity is the Mecklenburg Order of the Wendian Crown. These RK pix were sent to me by a cruel friend. I never managed to find and buy one of these. So, for your enjoyment:

nice one from Schwerin!
The Strelitz issue had a different inscription.
Anyway this one are quite rare and very hard to find!
The lower ranking Griffin Order was more freely awarded and not so difficult to get.
Best regards
