The cross is fake, but the case looks good. The question is if such case is worth 600 dollars.

It´s cross made by Steinhauer & Luck either in ww2 era, or even as a 57 version replacement cross. Good cross. Frame is polished ww2 style, that´s why it shines.

Looks like Souval to me.

Ladies bow Double schleife, sometimes with free ends of ribbon, sometimes not.

Wedding bow. Simple schleife with square bow. Ribbon is not pressed to butterfly style.

Husaren bow. Simple schleife, ball knob.

Maybe it´s just me, but I see big differences between what is called ladies bow, husaren bow and wedding bow.

Hello, I would like to hear your opinions about this EK2 Prinzen Spange that I have chance to buy. Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Happy to help. Here is the whole Latvian family.

The cross is good Deumer. The case looks good too, but I am not sure if this wasn´t added later.

This one is, unfortunately, Latvian fake.

Luftschutz Ehrenzeichen 1st class.

That is what makes Godet miniatures the best of all. This one just came in yesterday - EK2 1914 and Austrian MVK III. class with Kriegsdekoration III. class. Outstanding detail on 15 mm mini with combined red and white enamelling.

Beautiful set. And another proof that Godet had the nicest minis.

Nice Halbmond minis (and full sizes) set! Btw, I would like to find the collector who bought this Halbmond mini on Godet & Sohn button in May Auction of Leipziger Muenzhandlung. I´d really like to know which type of button it was.

Hi, Here is my humble Napoleonic collection. Prinzen size wideframe EK2 1813 and Bavarian Napoleonic campaign cross. Both with original ribbons. When I was checking the web to find the match to my prinzen, I´ve found this nice medal bar (It´s not mine, but I think you´d like to see it either).

Nice bars, thanks for showing!

I like when 1957 version items are combined with original BRD awards. Here is nice ribbon bar of ww2 veteran, awarded with EK1, silver wound badge and Panzer Assault Badge, who received BRD Feuerwehr Ehrenkreuz (German Firefighters Honour cross) in silver.

Interestingly, they still exist with the same logo http://www.fonecta.fi/yritykset/Helsinki/176246/Suomen+Asianajajaliitto+-+Finlands+Advokatforbund

Nice badges! Here is mine version by Gebr. Godet & Co. Miro

Speaking about RAO4 minis, here are mine. 11 mm and 20 mm. Both Godets.

This is neither Juncker core, nor frame, imo.

I think the biggest red flag on Ninth Bead fake is thin W, thin date numerals and typical overall shape of 1914 KO frame, which is used to make this fake. Looking for the Ninth Bead can bring you only confusion, because - there is one subtype of A-type core, that also have bigger Ninth Bead (see photo) - sellers of Ninth Bead fake already learned to mask Ninth Bead with all possible methods. What they can mask only very badly, is the fact that Ninth Bead fake is always stamped and painted, while original awarded A-type was mostly cast and blackened.

Hi, It´s so called Bad crown fake. Don´t buy it. Everything is wrong on this piece. Core is wrong (painted, stamped - not blackened, cast) and hardware as well.
