Actually found a real Prussian Pilot Badge on

eBay, asking price: $3800

I’m sorry, but that badge is a fake 

Thanks!!

Well that’s scary, the ritterkreuz looks very convincing! I hate the minefield our hobby has become 

Thanks Vince, never handled one of these 

Another fake with lots of bids, over $200 and clearly a cast copy.

Hi, not liking the pin assembly or catch on that badge, can you please share the front?

Does anyone have a good example of this medal to share? I know they’re being faked.

Post 1934, very nice bar to a brave Saxon enlisted/NCO.

EK2

Silver SHM (issue piece marked FU under the bust)

Bronze FAM

EKmS

wonderful condition!

It’s amazing what a little horse trading can bring !

And then there’s this one. I believe the EK2 is a copy, but the two Wurttemburg crosses look pretty convincing. Sold for 500- Euro!

Nice group! Is the PH named as well?

Sorry, never seen that one before!

Final results for the fake PLM, $1225! There is a real one on eBay for 30k

Fake PLM, up to $787 so far

On eBay Germany for 249- Euro 

Sorry, should have said Second Class 

I think a 15 year cross makes the most sense here 

Currently on eBay, $473 bid so far. I don’t think it’s legitimate. Am I right?

Very nice!

Hi Chet, Good Morning. The First Class Red Cross Medal is relatively scarce. But I believe the case was incorrect. Every grade of this medal I’ve handled over the years has come in a red case, similar to the Red Eagle Medal. Never seen one in the black case like the one sold on eBay. I suppose it’s possible it was issued this way, but not that I’ve seen. It was in beautiful condition with the enamel intact. I do think that’s a premium price for that piece but given current market trends probably not really out of line, just high.

Wonderful news! Thanks for sharing this!

The only thing that throws me off is it’s not St. Henry, trying to walk a path 

Well someone just bought an expensive copy! 

Just received reduced price offer from the seller but I’m trying not to stray too far from my path

Actually, in thinking about where things are selling, the price of that double Albert bar isn’t really that bad.
