      Very interesting Daniel...... never seen anything like this one before.
    2. Stogieman
      Gerd is correct, the swords/wreath examples are unofficial, but accepted variants and very hard to find

      Hi Gerd. Nice collection. Looks like it has been more fun and productive than the minis.......

      Nice to see this bar again Claudio.

      There's a comment in the "This week's ribbon bar fakes" thread about this seller and his fake ribbon bars as well. Notice he is also selling loose ribbon.

      The other thing to note here is that the beading, hinge and pin are all consistent with other known, original examples pre-1920... but NOT from Godet....

      pretty sure that's what I just said...... cross with a sham (read that as fake, misapplied, in a manner to deceive, etc.) mark. That might make the mark a sham, the cross damaged goods..... but it doesn't change the fact that the cross itself, might just have been a real one, once upon a time........

      Gentlemen & Ladies, please remember that while posting a link is OK, at some point, the pictures will be gone from the auction site.

      From the back, it looks very nice, I don't have a problem with the core, other than the softness of the detail. However, having said this, I do not believe it to be a Godet, but rather a legit cross that someone has enhanced with the mark...... I don't think the cross is a sham guys, just the mark

      Hi Bob, is that an enameled ribbon bar in the case?
    12. Stogieman
      It's not Turkish.......... You have: Prussian Long Service Medal Sax-Ernestine (possibly Sax-Coburg-Gotha) Merit Medal Saxon (one of the Duchies) Long Service Medal

      I think we can safely assume that his ribbon bars and medal bars are all "new" put-togethers. Notice he also is selling a rather wide variety of mint, loose ribbons in 15 & 25 mm.?

      I couldn't stand it..... I fixed the title!
    15. Stogieman
      Interesting that there are the two rather high foreign decorations but only the PCO3 from Germany itself?
    16. Stogieman
      Hi Chip. excellent piece, even with the damages.
    17. Stogieman
      Hi Jens. I watched this one go off. Much lower than it's true value, especially with the condition/style of the SABM
    18. Stogieman
      Well. I went through my archives, couldn't find Rick's scans. I must have them on disc...... give me a few.

      Pinback Johaniter's Order. Unusual in that most (but not all) of the pinback crosses are usually enameled.
    20. Stogieman
      Yikes! Slip those rings back under the ribbon folds on that 2X NC EK2 bar and tilt up where it belongs! ;>)
    21. Stogieman
      Hi Les, it's real. No 2 ways about it.
    22. Stogieman
      Hi Joe, Welcome to the Forum. Are you talking the Merit Cross in Iron, Or the enameled Military Merit Cross?
    23. Stogieman
      Well, any way you slice this, it's a pretty spectacular piece with the Merit Order 1.kl. I can count on one hand the number of those I have seen at all in the last 10 years! Detlev's original description stated it to be a 2.kl. Now....... has anybody deduced WHY Mark thinks the mounting unusual....... ?
    24. Stogieman
      Hi Tony, no clue why it would be different?? Quirk of the embroidery? The Gaunt wing has 12 on each side!!
    25. Stogieman
      It's really a shame that so many US buyers get turned off by his utter disregard. I have given up wasting my time asking to buy catalogues.
