Endlich!
-
I'm always very leery of any of these lower classes of the Hausorden, as the amount of fakery of these has been astounding.
-
Holy cow what a grouping, I've never seen the outer carton to the Militaer-Verdienstkreuz before.

Imperial / Weimar Awards and Badges
VtwinVince replied to Tupper's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Yes, Imperial awards were produced after the second war as replacement pieces, notably by Steinhauer. -
Nice medal, and an extremely late award.
-
Holy cow is that Rothe ensemble ever kool.
-
Thanks, I have trouble keeping up with your activities.
-
This mysterious item figures prominently in Previtera's The Iron Time. I can't find any other info on this thing. Can anyone elaborate?
-
Nice one Komtur, I'm assuming this one has a name?
-
Anyone got a bar with multiple Hanseatics?
-
These are cool and underappreciated. The award docs are also fun to collect.
-
Very nice core in spite of the surface rust.
-
Here is the AWS example again. Here is a genuine WHS mounted.
-
These Schysters are going to ruin what's left of our hobby.
-
OK, now I remember this cross. I have the AWS cross from the von Floeckher estate.
-
Could you post images of the reverses, in particular the EK1?
-
I think it's a complete fake.
-
ek1 1870 with 800 sliver mark??
VtwinVince replied to wangyaokang2003's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I don't like it, quality of the core is definitely lacking, and reverse hardware is weird. -
Nice, and not so common with the Hohenzollern medal.
-
Me too, looks like a converted Trapetz to me.
-
So it is, I watched this auction with interest as well, and the one for the Sachsen-Gotha medal, which was in very poor condition and sold for way too much. I did find a cased St. Henry medal, so stay tuned Stogie.
-
There is a long discussion about the Saxon bar over at SDA, turns out it's a real bar with the St. Henry ribbon being a modern copy, so it's also messed with.
-
Yup, it's pretty sad out there these days. Aside from all the fakes, one of which you've posted, and other bars which have been fiddled with and are massively overpriced, such as that first one, there isn't much left over.
-
Yup, I've seen this guy's stuff, and I agree, some is good and some is garbage. Regarding this piece, I think it's a good one.

This thread is starting to take up a lot of band width. I get more depressed each time I view this material.
