    1. I can’t see the WAF thread as I’m special over there (banned for life for disagreeing with Seba) ! How does the double sided one compare in weight and dimensions to the Godet war-time crosses? The details look very good, especially the feet of the eagles. Having recently handled a number of war time crosses from The Traveling Circus I can say Lee’s example is the closest I’ve seen.
    2. Wow! No that’s interesting! I’m loving these 1866 awards, they’re so scarce!! Nice photo and document!
    3. Beautiful crosses Gentlemen and an item I have no knowledge or experience with so it’s really nice to see these examples. They seem much more delicate and detailed as compared to the endless plethora of copies we see. Does anyone have a Meybauer catalog showing these?
    4. Well, they’re getting too darn good at this! I thought it was real based on my memory of ones I used to own. This is what happens when you get old and lose your archives! I’m really glad I’m not in the market for flight badges anymore! Think I’ll stick with St. Henry for now!! Gee whiz!! Thanks Lew for your help!
    5. The GMVK looks like a cast copy to me, in any event, it shouldn’t be on this bar.
    6. To me, both pieces are copies. The details look inconsistent with known original pieces. Sorry!
    7. I don’t think the ribbon is 1866, but rather a later add on. No UV reaction but probably a WW1 strip of ribbon. I can’t capture the Rothe mark with my phone, but it’s there.
    8. A little gift to myself. Heavily tarnished Silver FAM, 1914 EK2, Saxon 15 Year Long Service Cross.
    9. Nice! Great kids!! I had to buy my own gift this year! But I chose wisely and bought an 1866 Silver St. Henry Medal made by Rothe in Wien. Only 261 awarded!
    10. Nice NC EK2 bar sold today, opening bid was $500, don’t know the offer that won
    11. Resurrection of an older thread! Here’s my new Saxon Bar! Tarnished Silver FAM, 1914 EK2 and a 15 Years LSC! Courtesy of eBay.
    12. Thanks! Merry Christmas to all!! I agree with the sentiment!! We are family!
    13. It’s important and good to have plenty of references! I urge all new collectors to buy references prior to purchasing the ODM of any country!
