BADEN AND OLDENBURG HOUSE ORDERS FOR SALE

Hello all!

As some of you on the Forum know from viewing my previous posts here on the Forum, my primary collecting focus is British Victorian and Edwardian cavalry/yeomanry helmets. I have in my possession three pieces, medals/bar from the German Empire period that don't fit in with by collecting interest.

I have a Dutchy of Baden Order of the Zähringer Lion, First Class with Oak Leaves and Swords and a Grand Dutchy of Oldenburg House Order of Peter Friedrich Ludwig with Crown and Swords.

I also have a seven-medal bar consisting of the following medals: 1) Iron Cross Second Class; 2) Prussian Officers Long Service Medal 20 Years; 3) Dutchy of Oldenburg War Service Medal 2nd Class; 4) Lippe-Detmold Distinguished War Service Cross; 5) Free Hansatic City of Hamburg Hansatic Cross; 6) Kyffhauser Bund Medal; 7) Austrian Military Cross with Wreath for Valor. The medal bar has its corresponding miniature medals.

I acquired these medals in the mid 1980's (among many others which I have since sold) when I was stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany from a medal/militaria dealer in Wollershiem(?) FRG. I am now considering selling these medals/orders, too, so that they can go into someone else's collection and be appreciated. All realistic offers considered but would like a fair, realistic price as they are near mint condition with age patina with no damage to the enamels and they don't fit with my collecting interests. If anyone is interested in purchasing these medals/orders for their personal collection, feel free to contact me and make an offer in United States dollars for any or all three pieces!

Thank you and regards,

David

I like the Oldenburg order…
... it is an exceptionally nice example of that particular House Order... in my possession for about 40 years and has been displayed under glass in a shadow box (as has the Baden decoration) for many, many years in a smoke free home and the decoration has not had a human hand on it in probably has of the 40 years I have had it in my curio cabinet... if you are interested in acquiring it send my a PM and we can discuss...

Cheers,

David
 
What a beautiful house order! I hope its still available!
Hello Oldenburg_91,

Thank you, the Oldenburg and Baden orders and medal bar are really quite nice! Much nicer in person. As I mentioned I have had them for a bit over 40 years. I originally purchased them from J. H. Bielitz in Wallertheim, then West Germany. Yes, the three items in this post are still available as previous buyer failed to make payment for them...

Kind regards,

David

David,
I believe that wholeheartedly! That's almost always the case! I'd love to write you but unfortunately, I have neglected my account here and I am unable to private message you.

Best regards,

Hello David,


I came across your post about the medals and orders you are considering selling. I’m particularly interested in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg House Order of Peter Friedrich Ludwig with Crown and Swords.

May I ask if this piece is still available?

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Hello,

I am interested in the Baden order if it is still available, but I unfortunately have no references for pricing that I can suggest and do not want to make an offer that may be insulting. It would make a very nice addition to an older model Baden officer's spike that I was able to secure. Can you suggest a ballpark figure so I can see if obtaining it falls within my realm of spending?

Vlad
 
According to Nimmergut the Dutchy of Baden Order of the Zaehringer Lion, First Class with Oak Leaves and Swords in silver is 1000 euros and Gold are currently 1650 euros.

Information taken from the most recent addition of Deutsche Ordern Und Ehrenzeichen 1800-1945.

Hope this helps MFG John Josef
