EK 1914 Tips for homemakers during wartime
saschaw replied to Naxos's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Not an actual "copyright" (the Nazis weren't the US!), but "Kitsch" items with swastikas were banned early, probably in about 1934. -
EK 1914 Turkish made Iron Crosses 1914
saschaw replied to saschaw's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Have to agree.... today. ;o) -
Sorry, no. There's some technique that makes it impossible to safe his pictures from the site. I often tried before... =( But why not dropping him a kind email, asking for the pictures? It might take a while untill he answers, as he's very busy man, but I don't see a reason why he should provide pictures.

EK 1914 KO Mystery....
saschaw replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
And quite early... however, I would have said the core is one of their typical ones, isn't it? -
Silver one was auctioned in July 2012 at Thies' 50th auction, awards collection Blass, part 2, as lot 346. http://www.andreas-thies.de/kataloge/50_auktion.html Do you have acces to his online catalogue? In case you don't, I can post pictures here.

Have to agree, this is fake bar, and the MVK is played with - it used to have swords that were removed... there was just one of this type/class ever awarded!
-
From what I understand, Igor asks for official medals... right Igor? Do you have HuS or OEK numbers to go with? And, have you received my request via email few days ago? I'll gladly take a look for the pictures you need...

EK 1914 1914 EK1 mm "FR"+"Fr"
saschaw replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Gebr. Friedländer from Berlin did supply the GOK... and no other makers with "Fr...", at least not in mid 1916. -
Great, thanks!
-
Have to agree, no chance for identification. Precedence is wrong, life saving medal ranks out all other peace time awards. I don't think this is an officer's bar due the alck of a blue long service ribbon. It's either an old NCO's with AEZ, who wore his long service brooch below the bar, or to someone who got the RAO4 as a civilian, after his military service.
-
Definitely the latter, I'd say. Is the AEZ made from zinc? Could you please show better pictures? Thanks!
-
No, I'm not sure. It could be both... precedence could help, if it were a pre-1935 bar. Or a long service award. Or a Bavarian jubilee medal. Without any of these, it's really hard to tell...
-
I doubt this was to a Bavarian officer... rather a Prussian one who got Bavarian MVO, and choose to wear it in front of his war effort cross.
-
rujab, this is most likely not an EM's or NCO's. But still nice...
-
Has this one been checked by the Bavarian gurus?!
-
His father had some... Wasn't even his medal bar shown here on GMIC?
-
Officers of the active army didn't get their long service awards until they had 25 (or 24, in Bavaria) years of service, while EMs and NCOs would get their first ones after just nine years. So, these WW1 medal bars maybe officers', or EMs' with too few service for the DAs.
-
Wow, great! By the way, Wilhelm I. was Wilhelm II.'s grand father, not father.

EK 1914 1914 Combatant Iron Cross awarded to Women
saschaw replied to Naxos's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Sent! -
Seem to be the General Honour Decoration and the so called Centenary medal, so he received exactely what any other Prussian soldier would have gotten.
-
It is the Prussian Crown Order Medal, which wasn't affilliated to the Prussion Royal Crown order. It wasn't part of the official prussian award system. They were quite accurate in what to give to "their" Natives and the colonies and what not to give. He could never have received a Red Eagle or Royal Criown order, I guess.
-
The precedence isn't too wrong, I'd say, but I still don't like it... it resembles to those I consider to be modern put-togethers.
-
Uhm, I am and and was totally aware of this. Just wanted to point out, sometimes(!) it just doesn't matter what they do.
-
Thanks John, that helps... Kaiserlich Russischer Generalleutnant von Auvrai, commanders cross on august 30th, 1814. Kaiserlich Französischer Divisions-General im Stab Comte de Molitor, Commanders cross november 20th, 1807 (very early award!) and Grand Cross october 20th, 1809.

Butchering fake bars, however, is no crime. Crap is crap and will stay crap. http://www.ebay.de/itm/221173927314
