Stogieman Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 A brief stop at The Evil One's abode today resulted in some quick scans of the mail that has been piling up. Thought you'd enjoy some of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Now, the fun part....... the RAO Medal mounted is pretty darn hard to find. The Lubeck is a typical "Radiator Paint job" now confirmed as WW1 era....... and the Gold (gilt) Sax-Altenburg is pretty darn hard to find as well. Note the classic weird 1930's ribbon on the Sax-Altenburg piece........ you can be assured that this is one of the imperial ribbons that is period, but will glow like crazy under UV light! Just a case in point that there are period pieces that glow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 The first one is interesting as it is housed in the typical 1930's "Treue um Treue" vonHindenburg case. A rare case......... Now, for a cookie.................. who can explain why this 1930's case holds this rare group and has no Hindenburg Cross??HHmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hunter Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) Is the SA award gilt on bronze or something else?RR: What's the George score for each of these three? Edited November 4, 2005 by Bob Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Hard to tell since the SEHOM is PERFECT, minty fresh. (His Evilness would not let me do the One Surefire Silver Test which is tossssshTASTE it)"2" [attachmentid=14849][attachmentid=14848]There is no wear-- what MAY look like "bronze" peaking out of the flawless gilt is actually a sort of oily patina on the never touched finish. I brightened these a bit because of the shine issue which my otherwise flawless Epson 2400 has-- Real Color as on the medal bar scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bars from the twins as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
