I agree Typical KMST

Maybe a stupid question but what is KMST standing for 😅🫣

Hello all, did anyone know the Maker of this Iron cross?

Oh thank You very much. I didnt know that.  So they were always replications. 

Thank You very much 🤗

Thank You for your Input. Im Not into fakes. But i have a big discussion with my dad. He collects ww1. He has a 1940s made 1914 Iron cross. (In my Opinion a replacement) but He also has a 60s Post war 1914 iron Cross. And here we are... Is this a replacement, a Copy, a Fake or... ?

Me again. 😅

He also has a 30s made hollow ww1 U Boot badge and a 40s made Zink ww1 u boot badge. To him both are original. To me both are replacement Awards. 😅

but what happened after WW2. I read that some Firms (Like Steinhauer & Lück) produced ww1 Awards to. Are they Fake, collectors items, replacement... Im so confused 🫣

Copy, reproduction, replacement, fake, or what ever you want (but not original or 57er)

 

Uwe

So, after WW2 there wasn't an official Order to produce replacement Awards for vets? 

What about the interwar replacement Awards - are they Copy or replacement If they are made by one of the original makers?

I know i have a lot questions - maybe some hard or crazy ones 😅🫣

So, pre 1933 Decorations would be still produced after WW2. But they are Not 57er Awards. Right? 

Do those Post WW2 pre 1933 Awards has a specific Name? Or are they just wearers copies / replacement Awards?

Oh thats very interesting. Is there a list or some pictures of those Awards? I once saw a medal bar wir 57er ww1 Decorations. 

Thank You very much VtwinVince 🤗

Hello all, 

Long Time No See and now im back with a crazy question. 

The German WW2 Awards where produced in a 1957 Version. But what happened to imperial or Weimar Awards? Were they produced to? Like the 1914 Iron cross or Other imperial medals, what with the Panzer assault badge? Or Pilot Badges. 

I Hope its Not a stupid question. But some of These veterans where still alive to.

Your Tupper girl 🫣

Those are all Very beautyfull medal bars ❤️?

Thank you all

Yes, as said before, this is a "Zweitstück". Could be post-war era or even contemporary, as some companies started to produce such pieces as early as 1915. No way to tell, of course, and it wouldn't matter anyway I'd think.

 

Here's one in gold I sold a few weeks ago. Good enough for a comparison, as the design was exactly the same. Rudolf Mayer's initials are rather easy to spot, and that's the easiest way to recognize any inofficial ones.

 

Oh now i See. Ist really easy to Spot If You know what to look for. By the way - its a really Beautyfull Gold medal.

Thank You for your Help. One Last question - why is my medal affixed with a small ribbon?

It actually is one, despite the suspension! The official medals had the artist's initials "R.M." besides the bust which naturally lacks on a Zweit- or Schnallenstück. There is quite a number of variations of these private purchase pieces... I still have to catalog and count them, I guess!

 

See also Henning Volle:  Die Orden und tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Großherzogtums und der Republik Baden. Freiburg im Breisgau 2019. p 287.

 

Thank You so much. So is this a Zweitstück? I dont See any initials ?
