Gents, a quick heads up this morning, our eBay.de friend as returned to sell yet another batch of pictures of medal bars. Seller ID is "alexandrako18" cheers Jason

Certainly a beautiful award! Not being "clued-up" on Bavarian awards, was there a gold award of this decoration as well? There is a gold one available locally, but I'm not sure if its an award piece or a wearers copy. Does anyone have any pics? thanks Jason

the other side...

Not quite 1813....but close! Jason

Thank you guys, I've just made the phone call, and should have it in my hands tomorrow night. cheers! Jason

Gents, while perusing the many stalls full of nasty fakes at todays Arms fair in Brisbane, found an old friend selling off the collection of a fellow collector....he had this Red Eagle 4th class amongst other things, and was willing to trade some bits and pieces for it. My question goes to the experts here, is this an original piece? There are no makers marks anywhere on it, and it seems to be legit to me, but I've only held a total of 2 in my hands before - these aren't easily available down here in Oz....and I told him i'd let him know tomorrow if the trade will go ahead....(apologies for a couple of the pics!) thanks! Jason

Another of Heiko's bars has appeared again, this time with the addition of a "HOPFU" spange...if this doesn't go too high I reckon I'll have a crack at it to try and rescue it. I'm getting tired of this!!! all the best Jason

Pure gold gentlemen....pure gold.....

I hear you Scott - whenever I get a good run of gigs thats where the money ends up!! Those are some sweet bars! cheers Jason

Hi guys, last weekend my dear old mother was clearing out her old house and came across a family bring back from Palestine in WW1...family legend has it that it was taken off the top of an Arab's lance by my Grandfather, and was subsequently used to gut fish after the war...! I've had a good close look at it, and cant decide whether its Arab or Turkish, a lance top or a dagger of some kind. There are no arsenal markings on it, only some engravings along the blade, its about a foot long or maybe just a little longer....quite a brutal weapon, once it went in it would have taken some tugging to get it back out!! If anyone out there can come up with something for me, I'd be grateful. cheers Jason

But this one is nice with the Prinzen Centenary medal.... cheers Jason

Certainly not as spectacular as some of the others shown here....
