Except that now everyone knows where it is for sale. Why not just post pics and not a link to the auction unless you want many people bidding on it....
-
A nicely documented grouping Chris. I'm sure we will be seeing his story soon in the trench.
-
The repaired catch and mark.
-
The reverse.
-
Better pics of mine.
-
A replaced pin is a good observation imo. As to the striations on the backs I would say they are from a wheel sander used to remove burrs after the trimming process.
-
Every body should "watch" it so she thinks she has a bunch of potential bidders on the hook. That way she will eat the listing fees for sure.
-
Now that would be a sight.... Nice pick up Paul.
-
Not to mention the fact that the badge has the "Juncker" design and not the accepted "Meybauer" design. What does this say about Meybauer marked badges with the "Meybauer" design?
-
True, some things are missing so it probably isn't complete. But what is interesting is what is shown, the Kampfwagenabzeichen and the PLM.
-
Undated but the awards are from the inter-war period. Nothing nazi in it. best guess-1922ish to 1933.
-
Thanks Chris. I'd have posted it but resizing it to my permissions would have left it alot smaller. This was found posted on a Russian Collector's forum by someone else and he posted it elsewhere. I'm sure some people will find certain badges very interesting.
-
But if it is a jeweller made piece why is theSchott mark trying to look like the mark found on original badges produced by an authorized maker? Makes no sense for a jeweller to mark it this way. If anything other than silver content, I'd expect a jeweller's mark.
-
As with Tim, I have serious reservations with this badge. The edges on the reverse give it a cast appearance. If that is the case then why the added marking?
-
True but some of those "others" came with something else that adds to their credibility... :cheers:
-
A shame really, and not the least bit gentlemanly.
-
You would think there would be a photo of him wearing it. I'm sure he attended more than one dress ceremony between 1935 and 39.
-
That's a beautiful bar/ribbon bar combo.
-
I find this line of thought highly unlikely. If that is the best the prosecution can come up with I'd say the evidence is more in Paul's favor.
-
If this bar had all his WW2 stuff on it I would buy the "tribute bar" story. Who would have said,"I think I shall make a tribute bar for GEN Model showing his pre-war stuff?" If that's the case here is my Manfed von Richtofen tribute bar. I think I have his EK1 laying around here somewhere too.....
-
I would also think an officer of his stature would not have recycled awards but would have commissioned an entirely new bar.

Medal Bar
dond replied to Chip's topic in Germany: Imperial: The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States
Unusual and an enlistedman's bar. Things I collect. But getting into a secret bidding war whether real or imagined was too much for me. I'm not hear to inflate dealer's profits. I also will not help i.d. things for them either. They want to make the money they need to do the work. Now if you ever decide to part with it...... :whistle: -

A nice catch. I was interested but the seller kept bouncing back and forth between prospective buyers in an auction type sale so I bowed out..... -

Chip, isn't that bar currently for sale or did your guy buy it already? -
Perhaps, but how often would a frack bar be worn?
