Holy cow Wild Card, more details please on that one.
-
Hah, I didn't even notice that it's for a BMVK1, never seen one in this type before.
-
These are a veritable minefield, and most examples I've seen are fakes. We need one of our German colleagues who specialises in Mecklenburg to have a look.
-
Agreed, with the flat enamel. I have one of these with crown.
-
I agree, looks like a KO1, slightly larger than the KO2.
-
Those look nice, can you show us the reverses?
-
I like these Schiebe-Etuis as well.
-
Wow, that is an incredible piece.
-
Great photo, do you have a name?
-
OK, so the Jubilee Medal is a match. I think he's wearing the St. Stanislaus on a bar which has yet to be 'updated' by his orders tailor.
-
I'm going with Mecklenburg as well.
-
Looks like an English Diamond Jubilee Medal covering the St. Stanislaus.
-
Holy cow, what a beauty!

EK 1870 Researching an 1870 EK awardee
VtwinVince replied to dond's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if he was an Oberleutnant or Leutnant at the time of the award, so there are several candidates. -
EK 1870 Researching an 1870 EK awardee
VtwinVince replied to dond's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Hi Jens, He was a Prussian, judging from the medal bar, was a recipient of the EK2 on the combat ribbon, and took part in the 1864, 1866 and 1870 campaigns. He was at Dueppel and Alsen. More information I don't have, but I appreciate your help. -
EK 1870 Researching an 1870 EK awardee

This is great, could you look up Oberleutnant Mueller of the Feldartillerie? I don't have a first name, and I only know that he died in 1896. -
My query should not be falsely interpreted. I also protect my privacy, and I am in close contact with major collectors in Germany who, for security reasons, also keep a low profile. But when someone comes out of seemingly nowhere with really incredible material, of course it peaks my interest, especially if that individual is using a forum as a platform for commercial purposes.
-
I would be interested to know if you are running a publishing house. Also, how long have you been collecting, as you've seemingly come out of nowhere recently with all these spectacular items.
-
Great pieces to add to the archive.
-
Here is a little bar that is visiting right now. Apparently it is very rare to find a Prussian VK awarded to a Bavarian.
-
I guess I'm hijacking my own thread, but here is a nice bar with another Romanian award.
-
Holy cow, I've never seen that many either. Most I have on a bar is six.
-
Excellent, and quite a family connection. My 3x great grandfather was also involved in the conflict, but on the Prussian side. I once had dinner with an old family friend, and saw a portrait of a Napoleonic officer on his wall. It turned out he was a direct descendant of Marshal Graf Barclay de Tolly.
-
Someone on another forum wanted to see this bar, which I've had for many years. I thought members here might also like it.
