I was wondering what the favored types of PLMs are. For me the mid 1800 type Godets with all the hand chasing are the most beautiful. Do the prices vary much or is a genuine PLM just a genuine PLM? What are/is your favorite/favorites? Best, Sal

A.......H?

Yes I agree, Thanks for the close ups!

WOW! I would buy one of these! Best, Sal

Oh I must be confusing it with another thread! I was sure you mentioned nice meybauer with coat of arms!

I don't see the coat of arms???? I am confused!!!

I was most concerned with the "4" and "l/13". I would also like to see close ups of the 9oo as well. Jacques where is the bronze with meybauer coat of arms???? Best, Sal

I think you should post close ups of mm of all the crosses and catch/hinge details etc on all the crosses. I see some irregularities. Are there any marks in the rings? best, Sal

Scott they came in both cloth and metal versions and there are photos of the Legionairres wearing both types. There is also known to be at least one German made type metal one as well. The Winkler one looks very crude to me, but I hope tp learn more as perhaps Antonio and Panzerpioneer may shed some light on these for us. Best, Sal

Looked on the site and saw better pics. It is a good one.

Looks good to me but I would want better pics to be sure.

and what does this say? This fake foto was made by heinz in Braiunschweig in 1919?

closer

Got this feller on ebay

I agree Jacques, but better if reverse pics are always posted, one never knows

Both look good but I don't know how one can be certain without reverse pics?

Yes I agree, that is a bad one!

What were these for exactly Ricky? I don't know what happened with the pic I posted like I usually do and it came out that way???? Thanks for attaching it right Bill. Well I got this little feller cheap and basically got it for you or Gerd depending on whos Soviet collecting field it fits in best. So you two need to let me know. Let the catfight begin!!

I just got this and I was wondering what you guys can tell me about it. The writing is neatly done in ink and stamped. Seems rather official. attachment_3.php.jpg

Both are bad fakes

Definitly a fake!

Thank you Gordon.

Hi Gordon, I was not absolutely sure what you mean in your post. You believe the rounder is post war? I am pretty sure that is what you meant, just want to be certain. I know there is a nasty battle between many folks with this subject, and I am not stirring any pots nor do I want to be involved in any of that, I only want to know if everybody is in agreement that the rounder is post war. (I know you can't speak for J.Cross or anyone else) Thanks, Sal

I don't own it Rick. I have been debating it for a while. I liked it but am cautious with engravings (although I always find them very attractive!) I also have been getting some very nice Legion Condor pieces which are affecting my pocket and in turn making me hesitant , but I am so tempted with this piece. What price would you think this cased cross should fetch? Best, Sal

I bet one would have to see that in person as the mm looks deeper so that could be shadow. Dunno. I do keep thinking about it though.
