The Mannerheim cross on ebay is definitely a copy; but it is a war time copy of the German company Steinhauer und Lück.
This company also manufactured Crosses of Liberty in the WW 2.
Reference ==> see the book of Jani Tiainen.
I think 500 Euros for such a cross is quite good.

The medal bar is on the German website: cortrie.de

Thanx for this good information.
If I remember well, Kai Winkler is offering an original gold one on his website...I think 6 till 7 k€.

Hello experts,
this medal bar is in an actual auction - but I do have some doubts about the so called Mannschafts-Pour-le-Mérite.
It seems to be one of the very rare ones in pure gold?
I asked the seller about the "T" in "Verdienst" - no answer.
What do you think?

I am now really wondering whether this bar might be in fact realistic, but in reality just a put together piece (because no one can identify it).
Could this be also the reason that this bar changed its owner so often in the past?

Hello,
for me as a beginner. What means: WVK4X/WF3bX ?
And why is this combo unique?
Is there a book on the market available where to teach oneself the research of medal bars?

Hi @ all,
my opinion is, that he put the medals in the order as he received them..this could explain the strange order.
That the the center part of the liberty cross is missing, is a pity, but nevertheless it is quite a nice piece...maybe in Germany manufactured...but this only can be proofed by the way the center part is/was designed.
The medal bar looks old...and even the "Knopfloch-thing" (I do not know the English expression) looks old and used and not manipulated...here the order of the medals is also "strange": first: Iron Cross; second: Liberty Cross etc.

Hi,
although Kassel in Spring was mostly a disappointment in the last years...this time I found sth nice fresh from the woodwork.
Looking at the medals...what would have been the cv of this soldier?
Fighting in WW 1 and in the Third Reich being a civilian "helper"?
Unfortunately the Finnish Liberty Cross is missing the iddle part..but the price was good

Mannerheim Cross for sale on E.....
in Northern European & Baltic States

Hi would compare it like this: If nature gave your wife / girl-friend small "eyes" and you would like to have big "eyes", you also would take artificial ones...because you only have this possibility...
And I think, it is like with a Mannerheim cross...you will not (never I would not say) get an original Mannerheim cross very easily...so, what is the only thing you can do? Take a copy, but a wartime piece...
