Two Wurttembergian Orders of the Hunt of Napoleon Bonaparte

Among the trophies of the united armies of Prussia and Britain after the Battle of Waterloo was Napoleon's wagon train, captured by the troops of Prussian Field Marshal Blucher https://asiamedals.info/threads/sta...-of-field-marshal-gebhard-von-bluecher.23677/ near the La Belle Alliance farm. So the personal regalia of the French emperor (including order badges and stars) first ended up in the Zeichhaus in Berlin, and in 1946 they transferred to the collection of State Historical Museum https://asiamedals.info/threads/wur...tembergischer-ritterorden-von-der-jagd.27796/

But not all Napoleon's orders ended up in the collection of Zeichhaus. At least four orders and breast stars were given by Marshal Blucher to Major General Wilhem Benjamin van Panhuys /who was representing the Netherlands at Blucher's headquarters/. Later these orders were acquired by Prince Louis II of Monaco. In 2014 he donated one of these orders to the collection of the Museum of the Legion of Honor in Paris.

Gold, enamel.
