Hi, Yes its silver-Gilded according to the seller , and marked S.F.S 13099 ? Christer

Here is another medal that I´m thinking about , but as with the Zähringer Löwen it looks like new ? Crown Order 3rd class , real or no deal ? Christer

What do youn think about this ? Offered for sale now, Zaehringer Loewen Knight first class , sorry for the small pics but can you see anything disturbiing ? Best regards Christer

Thanks hagahr , I really love your site And the discussion between "original" and "copy" will keep going on I´m sure Christer

Hi Michael , nice to hear that your grandfather is still around , and 92 !! Thats impressing , If you post or mail your adress I will send a bigger copy of the first photo in the thread. I´m planning to visit the place in Sweden during this summer and if so I can show some pics of how it looks today Best regards from Sweden Christer

As an amateur I find this discussion very interesting, and one thing strikes me .... I tend to agree with Uwe that only a EK produced during 1914-1924 would be a original 1914 cross . But how can anyone be sure that is wasn´t produced in 1925, 1926, or into the thirtiees ? How long did the manufacturers used the 1914 tools before tthey started with new ones ?? Interesting Christer

Another soldier killed in the war, Gefreiter Karl Ohler from Bavarian 5th Inf Rgt , killed in May 1916 by a minebomb, near the village Liebercourt in northern France. here is some of his comrades at the grave. He was awarded EK II in 1915 and was only 23 years old when he was killed.

There is a lot of very nice ribbon bars in Sweden thes days Interesting that Imperial Germany is so popular , it used to be only TR stuff but know more and more goodies come to this part of Europe. Super nice bar ! Christer

Wow , what amazing work They must have put in a lot of hours into this . A fantastic base for research Christer

What does this combo means ? Did he rescue people 4 times ? and two Turkish ..... must really have been something I suppose there would be only one with a ribbon bar as this... I´m curious to see the name Christer

:cheeky: Finnish people must have eyes like eagles , it is so smaaaaaaall I will buy a magnifierglass 45 x, and then maybe I can see it. Thanks Jussi-Pekka Christer

And last back of No 1

And backside of No 2

And the next one !

I just love these Orders , but I know very little about them , I bought two Knight 1st class Orders but I cant see or read any silver marks on them.... Is there any expert out there who can give a hint of age of these two ? Here is No 1 .

I would love to have a list for Germans with 2nd class liberty cross , I have bben working for years to find them but still only have 18 awarded in 1918 with names. Christer

He he , perfect Troy ! Nice to see some Swedish here Christer

Is this "sammler-arsenal " connected to raritetensammlerclub in some way ? And I just realized when reading this old thread that I must have been offended Troy in some way I had never said a bad word about Troy , the only person I , in a moment of´bad judgement called moron was our "raritetensammlerclub" which I honest really think destroy our hobby.. So please forgive me Troy if you thought it was you I meant . The End Ps , I do like your beer Christer

I got it ! Cost me 197 EUR , I will post pics when it arrives . Christer

Hallo Andreas , That is not the Liberty Cross for civilian you have there It is the Liberty Cross 2nd Class 1918 !! And that makes the bar very unusual . Not many where awarded in 1918 and even fewer to Germans. This makes the ribbon bar possible to ID This is the ribbon bar to Johannes Jantzen 1880-1945 , look for his name here on GMIC and you will see the big medal bar . Christer

Could you say anything about this ? I haven´t got any better pics , but is it possible to say something ? Christer

Wow again !! :jumping: This name help me a lot ! I have almost all names of 2nd class civilian 1918 but this name I haven´t got yet prof Wilhelm Dieck !! Wonderful Bar , Iam Green with envy ... Christer

Wow , Fantastic Spange , Great find Detlef , I have about 70 names on holders of Liberty Cross 3rd class 1918 but this is not any of them. What is the award between Hamburg HK and Albert Order ? This one should be possible to find I think . I haven´t got verified numbers of 3rd class to Germans , but I promise you. There is not many of them,,,,,,

It went a German Buyer for 590 Euronice catch Here is the sellers pics, I hope he dosn´t mind Christer

Hi all , does anyone know how many SAO 1st class wo swords that was awarded ? I´m thinking of buying one , but don´t know what would be a resonably price ? Christer
