i definately don't like the catch and the huge amount of devices. the red eagle order crown coming to my mind was enameld - and not an ordinary crown like here the color of the long service eagles is also a bit i don't like it. christian

so whats it - or better say it like this: who "needed" an early center late arms mini? christian

as one of those guys knowing him from his "moderator status forum" - he IS a cousin of the twins and really knows his stuff! welcome here! christian

its 21 mm from arm to arm, and massive! (but very thin) (not thought about the pebbling and the medaillon - so its very strange, but the details are really good, and its, at least for me, no know copy) hope you can help me, bringing light into the darkness! christian

i want to follow and show a mini of a red eagle order - its a big mini of the early 4th class - no enamel in the center so, what do you think? (hope the pics are ok - if not, i'll try to get better ones on the weekend) christian

i've seen only ones one in an auction catalog (more or less poor pics) - but this one looks really great and with all the info you gave us to the medal its - much more impressive! thanks much christian

can get this ribbonbar - should i get it? - but i have a question first, why is there no long service award - centenial + china + dswa need a long service decoration? - and why a white/black ribbon + a mvo with swords on the same clasp? - and is the mvo from ww1 like the hamburg cross? ok, more than one question but i hope you can help me on it. christian

very nice bar! its a good question about putting swords on ribbonbars - but i would say, that this is a "fighter ribbon bar" so the hindenburg ribbon should have swords for representing the frontfighterscross. but there are no swords - so i would imagine, that the lippe ribbon should have a swords device as well. but anyway - its nice christian

very nice one! the black and silver ribbon is probably from hohenzollern - carl anton commemorative medal or so? christian

here is a pic of the medal in the mongol wearing style.

oh no - this one is not going really to the right nor the left hand side its an "even" one so trying to make any kind of theory basing of the pointing wings can anyone confim that it is good (should have asked it before throwing a conclusion in) christian

sadly no - i was only able to get at least a copy of the only remaining paperwork at least something - and this was a soldbuch copy. will post pictures if anyone is interested in. christian

i'm happy that you like it! and yes, your correct - its leutnant der reserve pfeiffer! christian

here is a nice ribbonbar with a nice combo (and a buttonhole ribbonarrangement as well)

if he was in turkish service while he got his medalbar made its the "official" way! or perhaps they are golden and more impressive the narrow winged badge is very nice - never seen one before! so if we state this as turkish made, does someone have a picture of one in wear? christian

thats a real EK document! do you know, if there are other docs of eks or other decorations around which describe what the recipient did for the award? christian

ok, here is another of your awards on the ribbonbar (also from Dr.Battushigs book)

Polarstar (1.Modell)

Order of Civil Valor (Modell from 1926-1931)

Red Banner of Military Valor (Modell form 1926-1931)

rick asked me, if i would post a few pictures of nice mongol awards - as i don't have higher grades, i post a few pics out of the new book about mongolian awards from dr.battushig (if someone is interested in this book, pm me, and i'll support you with info) now i'll start with the 1.modell of the badge of hero:

nice ribbonbars! but whats this? isn't it a battle clasp? but for what decoration? christian

very interesting thread to follow. but i think i have to throw a question in, even if i know, that it wouldn't solve any unanswered questions. if those are stated as german made examples - how the juwelier knew how the badge have to look like? and wouldn't be the price very high, to produce only a few of those badges? did the german pilots get a certificate and how did they get awarded those badges? hope someone can bring light in the darkness christian

the bad thing is, that they will fool new collectors and flood the marked with ######! christian

do you know a good danzig ribbonbar? or are they all
