Congrats Claudio.

Yes ,it is our fate as collectors The Dealers and sellers split Groupings for a maximum profit and we as collectors try to rectify history by uniting those groups again. yes sometimes it cost us arm and leg

Cheers

Hello gentlemen,

I would like to show this photo. A german Wehrmacht officer with the rank of a Colonel in the General Staff, Heinrich Knesch, with a Order of St. Alexander, 3rd class with swords above the cross.

 

Cheers Uwe

Nice photo

Thank you, Graf!   Your image far superior to "Lost Bulgaria's" similar posting.  Besides the uniform detail and Portuguese special class insignia, seems apparent that he wears a St. Alexander swords-on-ring badge from his Ernestine collar...   Recall this configuration in only one or two other pictures which must have taken at the same sitting.   See also--first image at https://bulgariandecorations.com/more/individuals/ferdinand_I  

Thank you as well  Happy Christmas !

Nice work

Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

I agree

Hi Dave,

I just used the site you provided to identify a recent Knight Bachelor badge i added to my collection

It is the second type made by Royal Mint in London in 1934

Thanks

It must have been a very unpleasant experience, for myself, its justification in my decision to avoid  ever having an account, or even going on that awful place, glad for you that something has been resolved

I agree 100%

Bulgarian General

Superb Group

nice Set

reverse of the order

Good, but still stinks

My account was compromised very badly then someone demanded ransom in crypto currency

They even managed to get my FB password I simply do not trust this site any more I am done

another King Ferdinand item  for sale

I had bad experience with Face Book in the pat after a bit of a fight I decided to close my account and never ever to use this site It stinks

I saw this one It is nice, a bit different from the medal bar presented, however iit gives us a hint that the owner of the Uwe Bar was high ranking officer

Superb uniform Congrats!

Hello Guys,

I just found an amazing movie showing a restored and colored version of Hitler and his circles / closer fellowship all wearing uniforms, medal bars and insignia. For me living in munich it was fascinating and disturbing on the same time to see all this and recognizing the place. So damned realistic.

By the way does anyone know who this SS man is, you can see in the pre view below, he seems pretty high placed, wears a bavarian military merit order with swords and everybody is listining to him, the lady in pink is admiring him as well and he wears the bloodorder as well. 

 

 

Very true and damn realistic as you said

Nice job Dave

A very good reference for maker's and hallmarks is the website 'Silver Makers Marks- https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/.

 

I used this extensively on a recent book I wrote- 'A Guide: Medals & Awa5rds to British Firefighters'. The site covers all mainland mints in the UK, and is very comprehensive. Even a few which I couldn't identify were solved by sending a request and image to the website and they came up with details every time.

Highly recommended.
