    1. Price is reasonable for this one considering the combination. Is it sold?
    2. Very nice and rare BMVM case --------- A real gold piece ------- A nice TWM with small enamel damage
    3. The Herzoglich Sachsen-Ernestinischer Hausorden is IMO not an award piece other than that everything look great on that bar, the combination is identifiable.
    4. ------- ---- --- ------ ------- ------ ------ ---- ------ ----- --------- hidden gems among a box of ribbons --------- Highlight
    5. Weitze is saying they're collector copies from 80s which I think is still optimistic, but close enough though. https://www.weitze.net/militaria/25/Preussen_Schwarzer_Adler_Orden_Kleindekoration__453725.html
    6. Herzog Ernst Medal with crown and 1914 clasp is quite rare. Only 8 awards according to Nimmergut (mentions in NI3 p.1518, no. 3699), or 58 awards according to Volle (in VWK p. 111, no. 19.4), Lundström and Krause (in SA22 p. 89 f.). None cased examples went for 700-1000 in auctions already 10+ years ago. But! better photos are definitely needed in order to confirm if the ebay piece is legit or not, copies do exist, well maybe they're called 'spangestuck'. https://www.kuenker.de/de/archiv/stueck/158896 Note the semi hollowed crown design on originals. The ebay piece
    7. Yes that’s Leo’s ribbon bar. In the photo Leo and his wife Isabelle are on the left, together with his brothers Major Guido von Gillhaußen in the middle, Oberst Curt von Gillhaußen and his wife on the right.
    8. The point is to archive the good stuffs sold on ebay including photos and ending price, cause the information will disappear after certain time. It happened a lot to me that I remember seeing something interesting on ebay but information was long gone when I want to dig it up for reference or discussion. Or often discussing with someone how much things cost back then and what's the trending. To be completely honest here, I strongly against posting links and information of any ongoing auctions, for not spoiling any purchasing plan from any member here including myself. I can mention that I'm a member in another well known collector's forum, and over there is this written rule about posting links and full information of ongoing ebay auctions are strictly forbidden. In case of questions and discussions needed regarding identification etc. they should take place in separate posts, again I strongly suggest to only post photos in those cases. In case any dangerous fake is spotted we of course should reveal it right away, in separate post as well, in fact several members are doing this continuously, even keep tracking of specific dealers who sells mainly fakes in dedicated thread. Too much or too cheap? for a commander cross 😉
