Dear Fontana Enrica
Although I think that 12 pounds is a bit much, you don't see it often on a austrian trifold ribbon. Nice addition.
Kind regards Laurentius

Dear harrydonut
Welcome to GMIC, and I hope you'll learn a lot but in order to give a reliable opinion we do need pictures of the PLM.

Dear 03fahnen
This is quite a pity, if it were to be real it would have been a nice addition to your collection. If I'm not mistaken Weitze offers a lifelong authenticity, so if you go to them and show them the evidence (quite clear in this case) they will probably give you back your money.

Dear 03Fahnen
I see a small maker mark on the ring, can you read it? It might help with determining whether the EK is real or not.

I agree with Chris, Lets keep the discussion about the rings and the medals.

Dear Spolei
Could you tell me what is wrong with the medal, is it the crown, or the details? Thanks in advance

Despite this terrible news, I also see it as a chance. Now we know which medals were present on the bar we could maybe see what his rank was, or his regiment? There are probably not enough medals to get a name out of it. We know that he had a 15 year LS from mecklenburg which was only given out untill 1913, Which means he joined atleast in 1898. which would explain why there isn't a centenarymedal, as that one was given out a year earlier

Dear peter
Thank you for your loving words, Yet I'm so surprised, the collector who sold it to me is known as a great person. I and many others have bought from her, It is very unexpected from her.
Worst thing is, I sold her a spange, got knows what has happened to that piece!

Goding dammit
I bought the hanseatic cross lubeck and the ribbonbar without the swords and the ehrenzeichen. , my seller split the group and cut the medals. She told me the hanseatic cross belonged on a bar and that was the reason there was still sowing on the ribbon. My god, I can only imagine what foul human being could do such a thing. I wouldn't have sold the hanseatic cross if I had known it was from one group. I feel terrible.

Dear people of GMIC
I have recently acquired this ribbonbar, which I have restored by putting a sword and a treudienst-ehrenzeichen miniature on it( there were holes in the ribbon, as indication this pieces onces where there). I would like to know if it is possible to be identified. I think it might be a hard job, even impossible maybe. But we could find out the regiment he was in or his rank?
Thanks in advance

Dear Chris
What do you mean? What is done? Is there a problem with your collection? a forum on german imperial awards is no place for LOTR, no matter how good the movies were.

Hi,

You can see it s exactly the same bar, at this time still with the swords on the AK.

He actually received a Deutschblütigkeitserklärung from Hitler to show he was a real german. this was neccesary as Zukertort was a half jew.

Dear Dedehansen

Dear people of GMIC
I have a question, Was the saxon FA-medal in bronze or silver also given to people from other german states?

Hmm, seems to me a diplomat from wurttemberg. Sure, before the great war started there was a habit in europe to decorate foreign officers, but the orders (they are all orders, except for the second from the right) are too widespread to belong to an officer. I'd say a ambassador to several countries during his time of work.

Hmm, I can't really tell, it feels a bit fishy. Nice to meet another dutchman here though.

It's just a regular trifold, to be honest with you, I would keep the medal with the ribbon and try to find another krieger verdienst medal. It's just a beautifull piece, hope you like it.

Dear Claudius
I friend of mine ones bought a vet-brought back Imperial flight badge and he gave me some close-ups photos from and I could clearly see the difference. i am quite shocked that I wasn't able to recognize this piece as a fake. Especially the small farmhouses in the middle of the badge are rather poorly made, Well, another lesson for me

Dear people of GMIC
I have recently acquired this meritmedal from baden in gold, I am aware that the ribbon and the catchsystem on the ribbon are not authentic. yet someone told me this was a peacetime ribbon, without the common red stripe through the middle of the yellow ribbon. Could someone verify this? ( the medal is marked at the bottom, see picture) Thanks in advance
Kind regards Laurentius
Well, darned, I can't seem to be able to upload the picture of the bottom with the maker mark. Too bad, I can only describe it as a fly, a small round piece, with 2 attached ´´wings´´

Dear Harrydonut
Are you sure that the box is meant for a PLM? If I look correctly to the picture I see a medalcase which is too large for the medal.
