    1. Now, the fun part....... the RAO Medal mounted is pretty darn hard to find. The Lubeck is a typical "Radiator Paint job" now confirmed as WW1 era....... and the Gold (gilt) Sax-Altenburg is pretty darn hard to find as well. Note the classic weird 1930's ribbon on the Sax-Altenburg piece........ you can be assured that this is one of the imperial ribbons that is period, but will glow like crazy under UV light! Just a case in point that there are period pieces that glow!

    2. Thanks Brian, excellent explanation. Now, to all, be careful, there's no shortage of fake PLM's floating about with "chased" lettering.... in fact, this is often pointed out by the sellers as some sort of "authenticity guarantee"........... Have not seen it done as skillfully as the piece shown by Claudio. Interesting with the gold (hollow) oaks... that's what I thought we would see!

    3. Well, I felt right about everything except the 4500-......... If Ed's pricing estimates are accurate, as a group this puppy was worth a substantial sum more, but I can't afford to lay that kind of cah out for the moment and just didn't feel right bidding on it as a "dealer" either. My hope is some Brit collector just won the lot of a lifetime for himself........... :beer:
