Austrian Leopold Order on a mini bar.

This is larger than the one on chain, measures 18X31mm. Same maker which probably is Vincenz Mayer's Söhne - Wien. Wonder who wore it considering the lack of any mid level awards, some kind of civil servant i guess. The JEM and JEK is about as low as it gets in KuK land but the LO is pretty high. Color of ribbons is a bit off, they are more red than orange.

It's interesting to note that the last decoration is the Jubiläums- Hofkreuz 1848-1908, awarded to Court personnel (its distinction is the ribbon, same as the Leopold Order's one).

A very fine group of "Réduction" type decorations.

Thanks a lot Elmar! Suspected the solution was in the ribbons, couldn't find any JEK's with that kind of ribbon. So the correct name for the JEK is Jubiläums-Hofkreuz, JEhK?

A member of the court then. Since he got the ÖLO, how high?
