Hi New World,

I agree with you

Yes, you are correct about the ribbon i forgot that the 1st Ferdinand Emission 1st Class comes with ribbon

However, still this fancy ribbon with the hole does not belong to the Set

The original ribbon for 1st Class is 40 mm wide

Buyer Be aware the Rule apply

Real Gem Congrats!

Yes, the EK was awarded on the war ribbon for home service and merit not necessarily at the front.

That is right

Hi PREM,

It is Original It is German made Their quality is very nice It is believed that the maker is the German Firm Zimmerman

Only you have to find a a German  triangle type ribbon

Most of those 1941  crosses were given to German military persons

The box for this model is green one on the middle of the photo It is Boris III Model

This Set we discussed not long ago is for sale on auction  again

It is for sale as a 1st Class

Star 69 mm  the correct size should be 59-61 mm

The Cross is 52 mm wide - the correct size should be 61 mm

The ribbon is not correct. It should be a sash. I like the 'bullet ' hole they made to look more dramatic

The initial prize is 7000 Euro with top estimate -14 000 Euro

This Fantasy Star was assembled from  original parts of 1st Grade and 2nd Grade 4th Class cross

I suspect the arm or enamel was repaired on the 1915 was incorporated in the lower arm in a crocked line.

The body is from the 1st Graded, however the two central medallions are obverse and reverse ones from a 2nd Grade Cross

let's remind  ourselves that there are only two Models from this issue 1915 -1916 and 1915 -1915 and none of them has a reverse medallion

with the 1915 incorporated in the upper arm and the other year on the lower

This Star was sold on eBay France for 389 Euro
