      Up to 910- Euro. I just don’t get it, what am I missing??

       

      Herzog Ernst Medal with crown and 1914 clasp is quite rare. Only 8 awards according to Nimmergut (mentions in NI3 p.1518, no. 3699), or 58 awards according to Volle (in VWK p. 111, no. 19.4), Lundström and Krause (in SA22 p. 89 f.). None cased examples went for 700-1000 in auctions already 10+ years ago.

       

      But! better photos are definitely needed in order to confirm if the ebay piece is legit or not, copies do exist, well maybe they're called 'spangestuck'.

      Note the semi hollowed crown design on originals.

      Lew,

      What's the point of posting these after the auction has finished. I would think it is advantageous to most people to see what forum member consider to be genuine items before the auction ends. I appreciate that this could attract more bidders, but at least we could be sure the item was at least genuine.  

       

      The point is to archive the good stuffs sold on ebay including photos and ending price, cause the information will disappear after certain time.

      It happened a lot to me that I remember seeing something interesting on ebay but information was long gone when I want to dig it up for reference or discussion. Or often discussing with someone how much things cost back then and what's the trending.  

       

      To be completely honest here, I strongly against posting links and information of any ongoing auctions, for not spoiling any purchasing plan from any member here including myself. I can mention that I'm a member in another well known collector's forum, and over there is this written rule about posting links and full information of ongoing ebay auctions are strictly forbidden.

       

      In case of questions and discussions needed regarding identification etc. they should take place in separate posts, again I strongly suggest to only post photos in those cases. 

       

      In case any dangerous fake is spotted we of course should reveal it right away, in separate post as well, in fact several members are doing this continuously, even keep tracking of specific dealers who sells mainly fakes in dedicated thread.

      What's going on with the price of that HOH?

       

      Too much or too cheap?

      for a commander cross 😉
