    German WWI PCs

    Ronny, On your first card, those aren't NCO's those are adjutants, commissioned officers, you can tell by the officer's sash worn over the shoulder instead of around the waist.

    Manfred von Hohenberg (Anybody ever hear of this guy?)

    The Prussian rangliste doesn't normally have first names. He's not listed with that regiment in the 1914 Rangliste. I don't see anyone in the Rangliste named von Hohenberg, there's a couple of Hohenbergs, but not in that regiment.

    The Order of the Black Eagle Today

    That's why they're called house orders, they're only awarded to members of the house! :) Seriously, though I did see a photo a while back where someone from the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha got married and nearly all of the male attendants at the wedding were wearing a miniature medal on the...

    One more........one of the two pretenders to the royal throne of France, Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, called Louis XX by some, at a private audience with Pope Benedict. Prince Louis is wearing the ancient French royal order of the Order of the Holy Spirit.

    Photos from the recent wedding of HI & RH Georg Friedrich Prinz von Preussen: Charles Prince of Bourbon-Two Sicilies with his wife Princess Camilla. I'm not sure of all the miniatures he's wearing but I'm sure he's wearing the Order of St. Januarius and Constantinian St. George Archduke...

    The Order of the Black Eagle Today

    I'm not sure how many I can find, Chris, but here's one of Hubertus Prinz von Saxe-Coburg-Gotha wearing the grand cross cordon of the Saxe-Ernestine House Order. You can't see the medal, since it hanging on his hip, but you can see the cordon quite well.

    The Order of the Black Eagle Today

    Oh, and by the way, I saw a photo posted on another forum where you can clearly see the two breast stars he's wearing. One is for the Order of the Black Eagle, the other is for the Royal Hohenzollern House Order.

    The Order of the Black Eagle Today

    No, Chris, that's the cross of the Order of the Black Eagle on his sash. It looks a bit like the PLM, but there's a a gold center medalion with FR in script, no writing on the blue enamel arms of the cross, and the eagles between the arms of the cross are black instead of gold.

    The Order of the Black Eagle Today

    There have been discussions concerning the wearing and awarding of orders by former ruling houses. Some believe the orders ceased to exist upon the overthrow of the monarchy, others believe that if it's a house order, as opposed to a governmental order, then the order belongs to the house itself...
