Ok Thanks...I think Now I understand this little mess regards miguel

Thanks Stogieman...that?s cristal clear now. And, Thanks too, for the lenguage corrections, please don?t stop to tell me about all the un-english words that I misuse...I?m a self-taught person in English, and For me is important if you understand enough of my babble to got my idea... Regards

Thanks a lot, the only thing i don?t understand very well is that with the crown is a higher subclass than without...??? The same as in the Bulgarian bravery cross order, the 4th class is subdivided in 1st degree and second degree...? Miguel

Surely some of you can give me a clear picture of the precedence orden of this Bavarian Cross. As I know: First: The Military Verdients Order, (MVO) This is the one with blue enamels and w/ or wo/ flames , w/ or wo/swords, etc...(Can Have crown too??) Second: The more common Military Verdienst Kreutz (MVK)...There are 3 classes or not ? (Silver , bronze...there exist a gold one??), the crown is a subgrade ?;... the zinc crosses are time war crosses corresponding to a silver class??? or another different lower class? Please some know-how!! Thanks... Miguel

Thanks a lot, I haven?t yet a EKI, and some are really expensive...surely in conection with some makers??. What are the more common (and cheaper) makers I?could find..? Thanks Miguel

In the old photos the cross on the extreme left (right of the wearer), is a Charlotte cross??? Miguel

Thanks lads, really you make me feel better fot don?t buy it. ?. anyway, need a push sometimes... reagards ... and if you comes to Valencia sometime (one never can say where one can ends )...I?ll pay you three to four rounds of Beer Miguel

Thanks to all Miguel

Probably you have the reason...the "must have" of today will be the "must sell" of tomorrow... The problem is that some days ago I?ve lost an auction with a perfect St. Heirich in the nick of time...so the thing is burning slowly undersurface... Regards Miguel

Thanks, that?s the problem...I?ve see anothers within a group a lot more attractive...or appealing...the trouble is that there are not a lot of them swirling around...and this has a convenient price...but I dont love it... Thanks Again Miguel

Excuse me ...It?s a sarcasm???? Miguel

Like the Quimera, the Sphinx, or the Griffon.... or.... I can?t resist the opportunity of send you to this ludicrous exemple of Seller wisdom: Please go to: Artikelnummer: 140230009396. Regards Thanks PS/ Box+ribbon+order Mix up. shake well and serve cool...

Gentlemen, Stogiemann... I?m been interested in a Sachsen bar with St. Heinrich medal...I?ve just find one, but the medals look a little shabby, as if not were silver...I?m in the moment to bid...but ...I have some strange feeling. Please send me your opinions...The matter could be resolved in question of minutes... Thanks a lot. This is a little of abuse, I know... Miguel

They are 2 different EK, the interest is because their price in this moment is somewhat lower than the EK one normaly see at eBay or another forums...lower that 100?... That?s why this same Good Price makes me suspicious... Thanks Miguel

Hello, I?m bidding for this medal...The only pic you ( and I) can Get is this one...Any of you, with this scanty information, can risk a declaration on the Correction or not of this cross?? And for this one I?m too bidding??? Thanks Miguel

I bought some months ago this set. The man seems a Zouave and the medals Medaille militaire and Croix de guerre (1914-18), dated the set in the WWI, not any inscriptipn on the photo rear except "carte postale"... but where are the zouve regiments, and what are their numbers??, Any help will be wellcomed!! Thanks a lot Miguel

Consult with hendrik at hendrik?s corner, medalnet. he knows everithing you wants to know on belgian medals!!!! regards Miguel

I?ve never see such example with this number on the cross upper arm: 1/M. By the way if your list is correct and is for all classes of the St. Georg, this come from the russo-japanese war... On the ribbons, you can put, as a stop gap, if the GMIC don?t anathemize this, a USSR Victory over germany mount (kolodka), if you wants I have some replacement ribbon too... regards Miguel. PS/ Remind the bar pics...Below is the mine, 3th class, SNr: 128161 (Kaucassus??)

Kev: I?ve see that the romanian medals are in the correct place, to the last of the Bar, The ribon of the star of romania, 1st type is the correct, if you look carefully there are two blue lines at the side of the ribbon that in the first type is the correct one...the "militara virtute" has only a blue line at both sides of the ribbon and the blue is lighter (take a look at my romanian bars at the showcase). I?ve never see a St Michael Bavarian merit cross, and two hohenzollern medals in the same bar (but probably I haven?t see so many like you and rick...). The Hindemburg cross in the first place is the piece that puzzled me... I?ve see both at ebay and again in the second bar... I?d never see (out of books) a Mecklemburg wendish crown merit cross...and again: Why the prussian make so prominent the kriegshilfe cross ...???. A EKII would be a better looking first place for the bar...(I know, I know...that?s a capital sin...) thanks to all of you...I must be the larges debtor in beers to all of you..... Miguel PS/ As I say you the bars are in ebay, impossible to show the rear face of both bars

Gentlemen, What do you think... Miguel and this other??

Gentlemen: I?ve noticed that a higher proprotion of sellers at eBay.de, don?t have PayPal and insist in Bank transference, that, as you know leave you totally unprotected and make much more difficult to enforce your money devolution. I remind that the only time I have a problem in ebay was with a geman seller that never send me an EK 1class I?ve bought (and payed by Int.Money Order). eBay can?t do nothing to the respect...Of course I?m not saying that the bulk of german sellers are more "thieves" that the rest but that their relative preference by don?t use PayPal leave the buyer more defenceless... Regards Miguel

I?ve see this medal at eBay, but the face shows some pitted surface that make me feel unsure... What do you think?? Thanks Miguel

Yes the first class I?ve see is in silver with enameled center, but I do?t know if there is a "gild loss" and was originally gilded... I?ve checked the place But, I can see an eyelet, but I can?t see where another order/medal can be placed (it?s not enough space...) What are you thinking...??? Miguel

Thanks a lot. I don?t collect this type of items, if you?re interested tell me. I?ll trade for imperial items(german), or romanian, bulgarian, etc... Miguel

Hello : I?ve a Red Flag order, no booklet, but the medal is in good shape with the enemels perfect...and serial number is 11139 It?s possible to date this award??? Miguel
