a lot of enamel here....

RAO 3KL m Kr u Schw. Gold.

MMJO Gold

Oh yes, of course, I was referring to the thread opener and its seller

That is a modern piece of garbage..... What a crook

Potos are not that great because of bad lighting. Piece is made of bronze.

This is mine….

That is correct. Richthofen’s SCG date clasp was certainly unique. It was a 1916 date clasp with two banderoles showing the date and month of the action for his award ( Nov 9, 1916). However, the banderole shows 11 and 11. here is a close up of MvR’s SCG award Regarding the Saxe Coburg Gotha award, I have been able to improve the piece from the one I had posted before. I was able to find a SCG with the correct 1916 swords clasp, but no banderoles ….

Very nice display congratulations. I still need to get an Ulanka from Manfred v Richthofen's regiment. I have an original Ulanka that belonged to Rittmeister Alfred Schmidt, Reg Nr 18. Thanks Daniel, I remember your display very well. Yes, those pieces are hard to get. A long time ago, while talking about my project with the late Neal W O' Connor, he told me that the hardest piece to come by was the RAO3KrX. Wow was he right! It took me a long, long time, to pick up one. Very scarce piece indeed.

Thank you Sandro, very cool and informative. Thanks for sharing it with us. george

Hello, I am sorry for the very late response. This information is what I have gathered so far. J Bishoff's PLM and medal bar: This is the only photo I have of him wearing a medal bar. This appeared in a 1920 newspaper covering his involvement in the Kapp-Putsch. I do not know if he is wearing the same medal bar that came with his estate.
