What about the last medal, I first thought the Imtiaz-Medaille in silver, but probably to small. Would it rather be the Silberne Liakat-Medaille? Thanks!
The osmanic medal is the silver Liakat Medal

Holzauge, sei wachsam.
I love that german saying, is there an english equivilent to it? I know: to keep your power dry but I am not sure if there is a closer translation to it.

Yes, very nice indeed. Can you post images of the KO4mS and the clasp on the colonial medal? I would also be interested to see the reverse of the bar. Are you sure on the spelling of this officer's name?
I am pretty sure, that Ernst is correct and Earnst is just a typo!

Very lovely bar and with a photo of the original owner of it, that is most impressive!

you are welcome!

yeah this really sucks! I have bought a nice photo and some weeks later found the exact same but with better quality, so there is much fraud even here.

BlackcowboyBS,
Can you share any further information on this interesting piece? Or is your article still awaiting publication.
Yes, it is scheduled to be published in may this year. So I fear that you need to wait a little bit longer. After being published I can share a bit more of information in this forum too.

are there any orders or medals out there, which are not being faked by these f***kers?

Hm, what is overprized? If I would be looking for one and I need to complete a bar, I would be willing to pay more than the average nimmergut price tag. And don't forget prices are on the run. A price to high been paid hurts once, a bar never completed hurts longer! IMHO

you are talking about the case? No that is not an original case for an IC2, even the inlet is a modern one( produced this century) at least imho. The case may be old, but was never intended to house an ic2, maybe for some jewellery or what ever.

Well it is not German writings looks like hungarian to me, so sorry I can't help translating it.

I love this one, I have taken your photos and sent it to a friend of mine who happens to be a collector of Oldenburg. He was very amused about it, because he was the guy who sold this one to you. So the world is a small place if it comes to collectors of medals and orders!

Interesting, this must be a bar for a prussian with some connections to austria. How many bravery medals were given to Germans in WW1, does anyone have the numbers?
PS: the missing of the hindenburg cross tells its own story of the original owner.

While I could find Adolph Graf von Kielmansegge as Captain in the Garde Grenadier Regiment in Kgl Hannovaerian Adresskalender from 1821, I couldn't find von Schlepegrell neither in any of the infantery regiments nor on the warte liste. If I have time I may also look the calendar from 1819 on the weekend. Maybe we have more luck there.
PS: in the list of the retired officers I couldn't find him either, so are you sure he survied 1815?

- Daniel Gerth (PlM 1st oct 1918, killed during the Roehm night)

British enamel ribbon bars
in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals

I like this beauty! Congratulations on it! In imperial Germany there were very few buttonhole decorations made out of porcelain, but ribbons made of enamel is unknown to me for German decorations. So interesting you guys have it in the UK.
