I watched those auctions, at least the items were described as copies. They were actually pretty good, but still stupid prices to pay for fakes.
-
Some nice enamel on this pre-war officer's bar.
-
Here's another Bavarian, this time a Fireman's Cross.
-
Thanks for the ID, I"m well aware of the meaning of the word.
-
That's a tough one, certainly not an award piece, but very convincing construction. I have a similar one with pierced crown which has been dismissed as a fake, but which I believe is an interwar example.
-
I like the looks of both those Schnallen.
-
That's a great Saxon group, who's Vati?
-
What constitutes a 'native Canadian'? I was born here, that makes me native.
-
I think fleabay has become one of the most heavily manipulated sources of fakery around.
-
Wow, not only the OTT ridiculous engraving, but the 'period correct' nonsensical lithography on the inside of the case.
-
This one's seen some action, but it's scarce: BMVO4mdK by Hemmerle 1905, a converted piece with the flames separately attached.
-
Agreed, here is another favourite of mine.
-
Indeed, the Rittmeister would be pleased with that grouping. More Wuerttemberg.
-
There are a bunch of fake cases making the rounds now on German fleabay, including some for the various grades of the AO. So yes, extreme vigilance is now the rule.
-
Sometimes the learning experience can be costly.
-
Those are a major minefield. I'm not big on the reverse finishing on that one.
-
I agree, that RAO3mSudK is a real stunner. More Duchies.
-
I like the looks of that one as well. Here's one with the crown.
-
Here is a fourth class with the Geneva Cross.
-
Unfortunately it's bronze gilt and hollow. But nice quality regardless.
-
Altenburg Komtur.
-
Here is 'a nice pair'.
-
I reiterate my opinion on this thing: fantasy piece.
-
I agree, one of the mass of semi-presentable fakes of this badge on the market.
-
Albrecht Komtur by Scharffenberg.
