Thanks for the very Informative pic Don.

Now we all can get an idea what this eagle was for and perhaps learn a bit more about these Schellenbaums.

Anyone else have any pics or Info?

And please if you do have an idea, please advise a price for this item.

Cheers

Paul

Hello again Gents.

The seller has sent a pic of the reverse, it turns out that he has a picture of this in use, apparently it is the top half of a "Jiggling Johnnie" ( whatever that is?) used by a Luftwaffe Band. So there you go, mystery concluded.

It appears down at the bottom of the Eagle is two holes drilled in the mounting plate for mounting to a pole like banner pole where the soldier would carry it with the eagle high above the marching bandmembers heads for all to see!

Any ideas on the worth of such an item??

Your help would be much appreciated thankyou gentlemen

Regards

Paul

Oh! and can someone look at the new pics of the Fallschirmjager cuff title in the Luft forum, i need to know more about it before i open the wallet! Cheers,P.

Finally! Some more Pics!

Now can we get a more certain idea about this cuff title??

Thankyou gents

Hullo gents

A bit of nostalgia for me when going thru my picture archives.

Its a nice little 1914 EKII display. And one other with a close up of maker marks.

Enjoy!

Prussian? Order of the red eagle??

Nearly the Hessen-Darmstadt long service or firefighters medal

But.....

Is it foreign?

Hi Ralph,

Does this book have more pages??

Regards from Aoteroa

Hello Gents,

I am showing of a nice Wurttemburg Trio i have now, it came with the ribbon bar.

I am looking for a Parade mount ribbon and bar minus the medals so i can mount these three on.

Has anyone got one they could sell me? or does anyone know where there is one? i dont mind if there is one or two medal with it...i just love the parade mount with the furled ribbons at the bottom, this is my main collecting interest.

Anyway here is a pic for the gents to peruse.

Greetings from Aoteroa

Thanks Jaques,

Even on this one, you can see that the "a" and the "g" are different so it would indeed be hard to duplicate the letter exactly.

This is the second type cuff title i know of ( apart from the fakes!) The link provided by John, shows both types.

I am going to sit tight untill i get more pics on this item.

But i must say thankyou to the gents who have contributed

Cheers,

Paul

Is it the fourth medal on the bar?? as i have no idea what that ones for...and it looks like it might not be German too....

C'mon Stogieman, tell us all!

Regards

Paul

Hi Gene,

Yes i can see that now...Hmm, wouldn't it be a hard job to exactly replicate the letters as these are usually hand embroidered?

The thread used?? what is wrong with it?

Hopefully some better pics will arrive soon and then we can check out the rear etc..

The Plot thickens....

Regards

Paul

I do not believe the cufftitle you have is genuine, sorry

←

Hi Gene,

Please tell me why you think that this is a fake? what strikes you as being obvious? Some info would be appreciated thanks

Cheers

Paul

Heres a funny bar that was sold here in NZ recently, i was advised to stay away as it has some disrepancies!

But at least for this thread it has the Ludwig cross.

Cheers

Paul

And i'll third that!

WOW! there are some nice bars here! and not to forget the awesome documents!

Thanks for sharing guys!

Cheers

Paul

Yeah! i second that Stogieman!

More please!

Cheers

Paul

Hullo again Gents,

Has anyone else seen this type of marking on the rear of Imperial medal bars??

Its like they used a rubber stamp to stamp the name of the Jeweller who assembled this type of parade mount.

I just love this type of Parade mount bar! the ribbon curled round at the bottom and providing a cushion for the medals to lie on...its just marvellous! And most of the bars have some sort of cotton wool mix underneath the ribbon around the ring holder to Puff up the ribbon around this area to make it look better.

Here is a pic of the rear for you to see the Stamping, however it is rather faint and cannot be read, unfortunately!

Cheers Gents!

Regards

Paul

Hi John,

Yes i do agree, better pics are definately the go.

I have asked the seller to provide pics of the reverse side and the ends.

Do you know of any originals that i can use as a comparison archive?

Do the letters look like they are correct? as i have seen two varieties of this cuff Title, and of course the Fakes out there flame , well it would be nice if there was a Fake area where members could go to, to research and come to their own conclusion about the items in question

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Paul

Heres a pic of the Nazi Handkercheif....

Its quite a nice item.

Have the gentlemen ever come across such an item??

Comments encouraged!

Cheers,

Paul

HI Rick,

Have asked the seller to send me some more pics, and will post as soon as i get them!

Meanwhile....what other speculations do the members have???

Cheers,

Paul

Beautiful Bar!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Any more??

Keep em coming!

Regards

Paul

No One???

WOW! one would have thought that there is someone out there who has some knowledge of these cuff titles...

Please help! as i need to know for sure before i put in an offer...

Thanking you kindly gents!

Regards

Paul

Nice Bar Rick!

What is the wee small medal with the yellowish ribbon?

I am sure that my Hesse Silver bravery medal is silver...i can tell by the Patina...

Anyway thanks for showing the pic!

Paul
