Thank you Scott.

The bar is in safe hands now...

Any possible id ?

The design of the central medallion is not correct (this is the most easily recognizeable problem), the quality is not there, the design of the swords is not correct, and the markings (for Wagner sv here, I think) are spurious.

Now I see, the central medallion is looking different from original examples.

I'm still a bit confused by the terms like post-1918 copies, museum copies and collector copies etc., I guess they all mean high quality fakes.

Hello guys, may I have your opinion about this Crown Order? It's not my field but I do know there are fine copies out there.

Many thanks

I don't rememer posting this one before...

Rick, it's my pleasure.

Sure thing! anything I can contribute, let me know.

Thanks to Dave, we can now date this ribbon bar to a SIX WEEK TIME PERIOD, which we couldn't dream of when it came up back in Fevruary 2006 (does a Research Gnome EVER forget a bar like this? Noooooooooooooo.)

Okay, that was an interesting discussion...

I have this photo in my archive with black ribbon and cross, not sure if it's Johanniter order or Malta cross. Anyway it's nice and still out there.

@Daniel, good to hear from you !

Nice! Thank you for posting.

One correction: Paul Theodor Alfred Wilhelm Emmery v. Lorck was born in 1866, not 1855.

I'd like to see his full size medal bar as well...

Thanks for looking everyone.

Hi again. Here is a ribbon bar that I have forgotten for some time, just took it out from the deepest of my drawer, it got bad looking on the back that I don't really like in my first thought, anyway here it is toghether with some minis.

I can't tell whose it was either, because not everything is being worn there--but typical of ONE of the Saxon Royal Relatives, probably a younger lower military ranked Prince.

Thank you Rick, that sounds really interesting.

Is any chance for this one to be identified? From what I read in previous comments it doesn't sound positive at all

Hello guys, I would like to show you a ribbon bar belonged Major Emmery von Lorck.

He was born 30.09.1855 in Berlin, went into the field as a battalion commander in Res Inf Rgt 332, then was on the Military Hospital Commission in Fritzlar, In 1914 he was a charakterisiert Major zD (01.10.1912) in charge of Reporting Office Schleiz under Landwehrbezirk Kommando Gera, where he died 15.12.1916 of exertions related to war service.

Ran across this while searching for some info. thought it deserved another look.

Appreciate that!

The black light test showed nothing suspicious on the back side, however the Ernestine house order ribbon did glow and a little bit pink, don't know if that's a bad sign or not.

Just found this in my photo archive. Matching medal bar?

Best wishes

Matt

That's 100% match...

Found a crystal clear photo of him and his post WWI medal bar... a funeral photo.

Wow! bring it out please!

Not a rare award but very nice hardware variant. Star device on the 'ribbon' is missing

2nd piece.

Something is written in the top left corner...
