This one on US eBay (from Australia), asking is $937 although the seller offered me a reduced price. Interesting combination and a little unusual but still overpriced.

Nice piece Vince!!

Don’t know if this is one of the few real ones or just another copy, don’t care for the details or the color. Current bid is $620!!

Wow, pretty neat pictures 

@lew Nice!! Those Saxon Bars are wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

The bar looks nice! Good job!!

Fake 1813 final bid: $1630

Fake Juncker PLM: $2026

People are crazy!!

Nice Crown Order with the case and nice to see a “button”. Only had a couple over the years, both fourth class awards. A Red Eagle and a Crown Order. Very nice indeed!! Who else has enamel to share??

@graham, nice additional example! @VtwinVince Really nice bar Vince, the precedence is really weird though! I understand the cluster of Wurttemburg but I’m surprised the bravery medal is mounted before the Friedrich Order?

I bumped up the thread with the Red Eagle and discussion, it’s on page one 

Always a favorite!! Beautiful example! Thanks 

That last AO1 i showed was sold for the $735, case is still listed separately 

Here’s a fun older thread that shows some wonderful, early awards I used to have. Feel free to add and keep it going!

I thought this older thread was worth a bump, shows some nice boxes for this award

Well, I thought we were discussing the RK, not the higher grades of which I know nothing.

I’m hoping for another visit soon and being able to share more wonderful items!

Yes, that is correct 

Thought this was worth a bump up!

This cased Crown Order Breast Star has been on US eBay forever now, asking is 3k. Nice original piece but expensive!

Lew, it’s nice to see an Austrian Iron Crown Order, too bad it doesn’t have the ribbon. Back in my “Buy Anything in a Case” phase I had an extensive Austrian collection including a couple of these cased. Almost all of them came from Detlev. The Iron Crown gets its’ name from a small oval of iron inset in the base of the crown. The enamel work on this order is spectacular and it was one of my favorites, even more so than the Leopold Order. Thanks for sharing this piece!

The BMVM case is quite rare. I’ve only had one over the years, it was in an extensive group to a Bavarian baker I bought from Detlev years ago. It was a pretty nice group, everything was cased, documents and a huge stein from the Bavarian Baking Association. Since I’ve lost my photo archives I can’t share any images. If I remember correctly I paid about $1800 for the group. The Bravery Medal was silver and in excellent condition.

A little unusual that two empty cases would show up in such short order, hope that they are not being faked now!!

I would have to agree with Vince here

The Red Eagle was shown in my Traveling Circus Thread, there was some discussion there about the Kaiser’s ODM. 

With all due respects, I will disagree with these sources 

This bar on US eBay, asking is $850, looks good to me except the mounting precedence seems a little weird. Comments?
