Again from the same Auctionhouse, the last one, a "mere" RK 1. Kl. in pure Gold!!! It went for the same price as a Kommandeur cross, just to show how emotional and impulsive some collectors during auctions can be... Beautiful example; this one screams at you with all its might and beauty! Very, very impressive IMHO!!! Ritterkreuz 1.Klasse, Gold, emailliert, 19,8 g. Winziger Emailchip auf der R?ckseite, Bandst?ck (OEK 2335). Zustand: II+ Limit: 850 EURO 1900 EURO

The show shall begin.... Here's my WF RK 1. Klasse mit Schwertern, silber vergoldet, O&EK no. 2335. Ciao, Claudio

Hallo Heiko, I wish, too, that you will be better soon... concerning bidding against eachother: that's really tough, maybe in future we should discuss that in advance in order not to step eachother on our toes. Btw, the last Colonial bar you got from Thies, I wasn't the second highest bidder... Ciao, Claudio

Dear forumites: After a little break I am glad to introduce to you my brother's all lippische (Schaumburg) medal bar... It's quite rare to get a medal bar with all medal of a such small German states. On top of that it's a rarer non-combattant bars. I noticed that lately the prices have been increased also for those medals that earlier weren't considered so hot and desirable. ? Kreuz f?r treue Dienste am Nichtk?mpferband (OEK 1256/1) ? Hausorden, goldene Verdienstkreuz, 1917-18 (OEK 1219) ? Hausorden, silberne Verdienstkreuz, 1869-1918 (OEK 1219) ? Erinnerungsmedaille an die Silberne Hochzeit, 1907 (OEK 1242) Enjoy! Ciao, Claudio

Finland Finnish Awards To Germans In WW1
Claudio replied to Stogieman's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Very interesting observations, Pete! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Rick, you know that I have a been gone insane for German medal bars with Finnish awards. On Winkler website https://www.nordheideversand.de/ (22136 AUSWEISE, PAPIERE und gro?e ORDENSSPANGE des OLYMPIATEILNEHMERS (WINTERSPIELE) Oberleutnant der Gebirgsj?ger Hans Roschmann) there is a complete group of an officer of the Gebirsgj?ger with the most strange medal bar I have ever seen... WWII medals, Olympia Ehrenzeichen and a post-WWII American medal!!! I guess that this medal bar was just put together recently... nevertheless I'm posting the picture... the Finnish awards they look pretty good. Ciao, Claudio P.S.: I know... it's not WWI, but I guessed here I would get more attention... -
Dear forumites: I would like to show you a bar adquired by my brother Marco this year. I requested some images from him... and here they are! Quite colourfull ribbons. What's interesting, it's the combination Bavaria-Reuss (Silberne Verdienstmedaille mit Schwertern)... and of course the 3 ribbon bars which go with it! Ciao, Claudio
