Nicely said Tony Cheers

Hi Tony Another interesting Lot For 40 GBP you can not go wrong The Party Membership badges alone if they turn to be original or old copies are the most interesting items Overall, in my opinion it is quite mixed lot Many of the items, at least at this stage do not look to have any link. The name it could be Paula Josef She was Assistant Administrative Person. She was Roman Catholic Very interesting Lot I am looking forward for the next post , once you got the lot and have more information Cheers

I fully agree It is a nine field Other problem is that fakers keep their knowledge up to date They also read our forums and books how to detect fakes ..and they correct their mistakes an providing much better fakes Best regards

It is advisable to get as much knowledge as possible before start collecting WW2 German Items They are the most copied and faked ones since the interest is significant. That way you will not depart with your money for buying questionable items. However that is the fate of the collectors . They learn the hard way Over the years I have seen even "reputable " Dealers selling questionable German WW2 items ..and over the years the fakers get more experienced and perfect their work They can even age them Personally I stopped collecting German WW2 items, However this is my personal choice. Good Luck with your quest and your collecting

That is a very good advice Also type on the search box (Top right) the name of Souval and you will get all the discussions regarding the Firm Souval Regards

Fair enough However this cross is not mad by the Firm Souval even after 1945 Here is an image of post War2 Souval Regards I hope you will get more opinions It is better to list your request in the Iron Cross Section The Firm of Souval made Knight Crosses into the late 60s They use the Original dyes and in the early stages original left over parts Those Crosses were supposedly made for the collectors market Good Luck I hope you will have more opinions

Not an original The seller is right it does not look Silver despite the mark Post war copy and in my opinion not very good one If the price is good it will be nice for display Regards

Yes I know It is one of the Europe Orders when the Commander Cross and the Grand Cross are the same size Cheers

Thank you It could have been like this Grand Cross in Gold

Hi JohanH If you remember the discussion regarding this Star in the British Section Regarding the Swedish Order of the Sword:Sir Colin Keppel was awarded the Commander 1st Class in 1908 after a visit of the Swedish Royal family to Britain Does that mean that he was awarded the neck Cross as well. Sadly only the Star was part of the Grouping. Even more sad the Group was split and sold At least I was lucky to by the Star of the Order of the Sword Regards According to the Swedish State Calendar, he was awarded the Commander 1. class i 1908.

The best site is the Austrian Dorotheum Auction House The last Auction they have early Original and late Rothe production You can go to the site and look the last Military Orders Auction and stroll The originals are at the beginning of the list the new ones are at the end of the Austrian Section Otherwise is a nice piece Regards https://www.dorotheum.com/en/a/96172/ here is the link to the Auction

Nice one

Nice Document

Interesting photo of King Boris in Navy uniform

I agree more images we need

Grand Officer Class of the Belgium Order of the Crown is awarded without a Cross or a badge Only a Star is awarded. The French LOH Grand Officer consists Star and a breast badge

Here is am image of the Order Yes The central part looks a bit different an bigger Can you list the reverse and also if you have it in hands -the size
