Yeah, that’s possible, don’t recall ever seeing that before. The maker’s label is interesting, have not seen him before. A pretty bar that appeals to my Saxon needs!

I’d like to see that too. Love the Henry The Lion, used to have several of those both first and second classes. First in gold. 

I’ll be looking for the S when it arrives!

Still trying to figure this out, can anyone help?

I’m looking at a medal bar that has an EK2, FAM in silver, Prussian 9 year LSM and Saxon LSM Second Class. It’s a beautiful bar but under what circumstances would he have the two different DA medals? Also, why would he mount the Prussian ls medal before the Saxon one?

Not sure you can call that a break from collecting! Very beautiful pieces, thanks for sharing!

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this

This piece definetely deserves better pictures.

Congratulation. Is it stamped with "S" in the lower cross arm?

Hi Alex, not sure if there’s a Scharffenburg mark but this mark is on the suspension ring, hopefully I can make sense of it when it gets here next week.

I’ll post more images once it arrives, it’s in the mail 

There’s some minor chips in the green but I’m still pleased, almost impossible to find anymore. The hunt is on for a case!

Thanks to a fellow Forum Member this little gem is on its’ way! Now, have to find a case to keep it in.

Hi Saschaw, thanks for the clarification and other clues. I agree on holding back the identification. I missed the other two items. I thought I had bid pretty high but guess I am underestimating the current market realities.

Now that’s a nice looking and scarce medal, thanks for sharing! Great with the photo too!

I agree and looking through the seller’s offer items I think it’s safe to say they came together. So there’s those additional clues 

I bid very high and still lost out 

I was the under bidder on this bar. Nicest Prussian bar I’ve seen in a very long time. The seller also sold a Grand Cross Albert Order (civil) and a First Class Zahringen Lion (also civil). I hope one of you won this!

Now that’s an interesting photo!

At any given moment you can find about half a dozen “PLM’s” on eBay. Many offered as original but I’ve yet to see an awarded piece except in a friend’s collection. People bid like crazy on this junk and every once in a blue moon a really nice original order comes up and sells for a reasonable price. Saw an Albert Order Grand Cross go for $1.2k recently!

Just saw an eBay listing titled “Fake Garbage Blue Max from never ending supply in Germany”

you should look for it and read the seller description, I sat here laughing away!

Hi Bill, nice, researched group, especially like the short case PH

Beautiful bars, thanks for sharing 

Hi Bill, can’t remember the last time I saw one of these with so much documentation. Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Nice crosses!! Thanks for sharing 

Hi Bill, beautiful, well researched group. How very sad

Wow,  never seen anything like this, pretty impressive!
