Description
This is a very high quality boutonniere that sports five ribbons and two decorations. What I find interesting is that even though it sports only two miniature decorations that is the way the example was manufactured. It is not a matter of missing decorations. It was designed to show only the two decorations that we share with you today.
The decorations suspended from the boutonniere are the:
- Honor Cross for Volunteer Red Cross Workers 1870-1871- Baden.
- Zähringer Lion Honor Cross – Baden.
- The ribbons attached to the boutonniere include the:
- Honor Cross for Volunteer Red Cross Workers 1870-1871- Baden.
- Zähringer Lion Honor Cross – Baden.
- Hindenburg Cross.
- Kaiser Wilhelm Centennial Medal 1797-1897.
- Long Service Award.
This is a very special boutonniere for a man who served Baden and the Reich from 1870 until 1918, and was still alive in 1933 to receive the Hindenburg Cross!
