A wonderful miniature Long Service Buttonier, cased, for 152-Euro on German eBay

@lew, the seller of the Saxon Merit Order RK2mS has either relisted the cross, or has a second one listed. Either way, makes me a little suspicious. Exact same images as the last time it sold. I am unaware of this order having been faked like the Albert Order, but I suppose that’s possible or inevitable.

This one slipped through for only 36,60 Euro! Probably not identifiable, but a nice little bar!

Nice bar from Germany, 483-Euro.

I couldn’t make my mind up on this one so I’m placing it in this thread. I welcome discussion and your thoughts. Precedence is clearly wrong but the individual pieces look ok in my eyes. Mounting looks okay too. I just don’t know. Thoughts? The lack of a long service award gives me pause.

Empty case for AORK1mS, 256-Euro

Empty Sax-Coburg-Goths Case for the RK1, 624-Euro!

I would agree, most likely a veteran award, private organization, unknown to me. Have not seen this ribbon before

And then there was this little beauty! Asking 1850-Euro, no bidders

I do remember! Back in the day, cased or in the issue packet was my main criteria!

The seller of the Wurttemburg bar missing a medal also sold this for 63- Euro. Again, only one picture. Never seen this medal cased before.

Hi Bernd, Good Morning! The original listing had only a photo of the obverse and no dimensions posted. They had quite a few nice, original medals and bars, all went for pretty reasonable prices except the Hohenzollern. I suppose it’s possible that it was a Commander’s Cross and some of the bidders reached out to the seller for clarification and additional details. It went from about 700- to 1700- in the final minute of the auction!! I don’t know how to differentiate the two from just the one picture.

Wonderful to see Vince!! Nice with a document!! Thanks for sharing!

I suspect this to be a new copy case that’s been working their way into German eBay. Looks too new and sold for a Buy It Now price of 121-Euro

Another nice little bar with a scarce device, 256 Euro

Interesting Wurttemburg Medal Bar/Ribbon Bar, 304-Euro

Ok, maybe this actually belongs in the eBay Mania Thread….. Hohenzollern RKmS at 1719-Euro!! And no photo of the reverse posted!

Unfortunately, the Albert Order has been extensively faked and I’m not 100% sure but this cross looks pretty darn good. Sold as Commander/Grosskreuz. Didn’t see weights or dimensions in the listing. Marked for Scharffenburg. 1212- Euro

Same seller, another fake TWM, fake case and marked for Meybauer, sold for $645!

Another fake “Godet” PLM, this one brought $786

Very nice Saxon enlisted bar brought 234- Euro

Fake engraved cross Vince posted brought $1500

Ok, what am I missing on the KO3 please!

In Germany, cased KO3, looks very minty, sold for 407-Euro

Nothing spectacular but it’s real. 50- Euro
