    There may be some problem with my photo album. I just reloaded these images to another website.

    Very cool! image

    On the second one--and this probably belies my ignorance--why the "Bey" in Johannes' name? That's an Ottoman/Turkish title and the Order was based around Latvia/Estonia, right? image

    You are right. Bey was a rank below Pasha within Arab states. But I think Bey is not a title here. It is a German word and may be a family name.
