Is anybody familiar with Knyphausen?

Can anybody offer some advise on reference books for the Knyphausen classification system for german state medals?

    Wow! If only I were rich instead of so dang good looking! image

    I could then buy it and start a new collection of them thar things! Nice one! I wish I had the bucks to spare in order to collect them but my core collection eats up all the spare funds I have (not much here lately). image

    I can't offer a referance either but wowzers, I would like to have that one a lot!!!

    Thanks (I think) for sharing!
