To member Dansson, the piece seems quite genuine, but I hope you won't mind a comment about the condition of the medal. Don't be terribly disappointed if your offer is declined. The condition on this one is a bit rough, especially between the cross arms where the gilding is almost gone, and also on the swords. This is not a particularly scarce insignia. Very nice condition singles come up in auctions regularly, in the US$450-550 range. We're not exactly in a booming market these days, so with a little patience you will find a nicer piece that you'll always enjoy looking at. Condition and eye-appeal are important when you buy, because they are especially important when it's time to sell! Good luck with your collection!

Thank you!
Do you know what a Gold piece (not a silver gilt) goes for?

Thanks, the seller hasn't so far responded to my offer.

I haven't got the bar, but I just sent in an offer and we'll see if they accept it.

Thanks, is it authentic?

Best regards, Daniel

Hi,
I haven't got much knowledge of these, I'd be interested to know if it's an authentic award piece. Thank you!

Congratulations, only 48 awarded of the 3.class with red cross 1939 model. A rare cross.

Does Julius Streicher with his 1914 EK1 tilted the 90 degrees to the side count?  

Don't know what it is, but it looks quite official with the numbering.

Hi,

It does not need to be a red flag, some units issued the docs without stamps, and on some docs the stamp has just faded off....

Thank you Chris,

would you mind if I send you a message with photos?

I've seen a few EK2 documents (signed by a regimental commander) and an EK1 document (Signed by the A.K. commander), but both were missing stamps, is this a red flag or otherwise a thing to worry about? On the EK2 document I have in mind, the signature is a match to an other signature I've seen from the regimental commander from that time.

So is the absence of a stamp a problem?

Once of the RIR65 and one of the staff of the division (just a single horizontal bar). Note the 208 sleeve insignis for the Fernsprech-Abteilung of the Inf.Div. 208.

 

 

Look at that, he seems to have some sort of Helmet cover?

Well written, it's pleasant as always to read the texts of yours.  

Thanks for the answers, this clears up the situation  

Anyone?

Hello,

I've just got this combat veteran shoulder board of a Hauptman. The colours of the thin blue threads (what are those called?) say to me it's Bavarian. I was wondering if it's possible to determine which regiment it is, 1.st König? 1.st Reserve? 1.st Landsturm? Thanks in advance!

I bought it as I liked it as it was very worn, unlike most unissued boards aviable.

Thanks for the help!

Very nice Komtur.

If you're ever selling that set away, please keep me in mind, that EK2 is a nice early multi-piece framed cross with the Serif core (probably stepped too).

Fantastic, do you have closer pictures of the EK2? It looks like a very early multi-piece construction from here.

Not even surprising you're the lucky winner of the group!  congratulations!

If we're sharing Napoleonic bars, I'll contribute.

Here's an original mounting that came from a house clearance. Contains:
EK2 - 1813, Wideframe (Serif core type), KDM 1814 (round cornered variation) and the 2.Model of the 25 year service cross.

Best regards,

Daniel

It's for the 2.class.

A fitting addition to the display!

Guess I replied to you on WAF earlier, but I might as well do it here too

Original one-piece Otto Schickle.

We will need way more better pictures than that to comment anything relevant.

Nice, I once saw a doc named to Frankenstein.
