Dear Mr. X, I have another question. . I don’t think you would mind if I ask you questions in the middle of someone else’s article (I hope the author doesn’t mind either...) Regarding the St. Stanislav order. If the winner is an Asian, but he is a Christian, then his order center pattern is "SS" or "double-headed eagle"?

I still think the order of the Korean Empire is very good. . But I can't afford it. Latvians sold them

I seem to see a miniature breast star ordered by the Republic of Korea military, but it may not be

2018.2.28

I only pray that you can show me the pictures of the scene

Hello 1812.

During more than 500 years the Order of the Elephant have been awarded appr. 800 times. The Elephant have changed during that period from an Elephant in Gold without the tower and morian to the type you'll find today. The original statutes have been lost so we don't know exactly why the Elephant were chosen, but it is generally accepted that the Elephant were a symbol of strength and wisdom. I hope this helps.

Is the sitting black man at the top of the elephant a symbol of strength and wisdom?

Nick, thanks for your comment, basically as I assumed.

1812, they are mine, but not a major financial loss, they came to me with some other items.

Dear Mr. Denmark, I also want to ask a question that has troubled me for a long time. There are no elephants in Denmark, and no blacks (Moors). Why did Denmark set it as the most advanced order?

Dear Mr. X of Japan, I would like to ask you another topic about the order of St. Stanislav. I saw a breast star with a space between the letters D and O, and other milk stars with a space between O and I. I want to know if this is caused by craftsmanship?Or is it because it was damaged? The seller said this order was made by Edward's factory

I saw a similar auction many years ago, I only saved the pictures, I hope I can help you

I hope you did not purchase it. .

Hi Petar,

Thank you for your opinion.

 

Also you do not have to feel sorry for the "bad name" created by the fakers.

 That is the human nature and greediness that makes those people to do such things. Comparing to what has happened with Orders and decorations from other countries  that is a very small problem

I can reassure you that even people with  a "good" names and reputation  such as  well known Experts, Dealers, Sellers  and Auction Houses have closed their eyes and for the sake of nice profit cheated the collectors community..and still doing it  I have been keeping an eye on the Market and i can notice what is going on. However that is a very small issue comparing to much bigger frauds  in our society

It will be very nice from you if you have pictures and information of the "hew wave" of fakes of Bulgarian Orders

Regards

Hi Graf,

I am a Chinese collector. I am optimistic about a set of Alexander orders recently, but I don’t know how to privately message you. Could you please send me a message, I would like to ask you to help me see if it is true or false. .

1812 , The answer is Yes and No . yes because they were not regulations at the beggining of the War to the matter , No because soon was decided that all the regimental Names were discarded  due to the fact that many were of Monarchs of enemy Powers .

OK, what about neutral countries? For example, Spain, Sweden

I agree it's written "Großpapa".

I'm 62 and Italian, but I thank my parents, both fluent in German, for having taught me the Kurrentschrift (aka "Sütterlin" in a later form), when I was a young boy...

Dear Sir, I would like to ask you a question that has nothing to do with this question. During the First World War, will soldiers and generals of the Austro-Hungarian Empire wear the medals and orders of the enemy countries (belligerents)?

Hello,

I've better examined the picture of this "Geistliches Verdienstkreuz I Klasse" and, after having enlarged the image enough, I can say, without doubt, that this piece comes from a batch of copies appeared in the early 2000s.

At first, they've been sold as "pre-1918 private purchase pieces" or, with the hilarious descriprion as pre-1918 "Spangenstück". Soon, it became clear that they came from the workshop of a now late, german faker.

Best wishes,

E.L.

 

Thank you Mr. Enzo, I did not buy it, I bought a breast star order from another country

1812 Overture, 

Some great information on these websites, unfortunately nothing about unmarked pieces though:

Dear Sir, thank you for your help, although I also know this website and have seen it. .

I just want to know if a medal without a manufacturing mark is fake. .？

That is of course correct Graham - but overture1812's question is about one without markings, which do exist, I gather, but pics will be needed to confirm authenticity or otherwise.

 

Thank you enthusiastic friends for your help, only these two photos. .

Dear collectors, is there a manufacturer’s mark on the ring of the military priest’s medal? If not, will it be fake?

I want to buy without any mark. I wonder if it was after the First World War? Please give me some advice. Thank you

这张图片更清晰一些。。

From the left:
King Gustav V 70th birthday commemorative medal
From the picture. . There seem to be two faces on the medal, I'm not sure, it feels like a wedding medal. .
The Red Cross I guess is a Swedish medal
I have seen it before, but the picture is not saved. May be a medal of Belgium
Sorry. . All I can be sure of is the first medal. .

I always have a question, how do you think that is your picture? (on the Internet)
For example, if a seller sells his photos on eBay, many people will see them and save them. Then you buy this photo, do you not allow others to use this photo?

I also have a similar medal bar, but the last medal is the St. Michael's Medal (bronze) from the Kingdom of Bavaria
