EK 1870 Grand cross 1870 Iron Cross
VtwinVince replied to Alex K's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Never heard of a Stern zum EK 1870 being produced, or even considered by the GOC. But I agree that Moltke was a deserving candidate. -
Thanks for checking.
-
I'm going to restore this bar. I think the missing orders are RAO3mS, KO3 and a Hohenzollern Honor Cross with Crown. Any chance one of the research gurus can ID this one?
-
Man, that is one fantastic Schnalle, and the document makes for interesting reading.
-
Hi Peter, As you know, this is an extremely rare version of the RAO, and I haven't seen enough real ones to give a definitive opinion, but I agree that the quality of the piece you show is lacking.
-
I would think about the same value as without swords.
-
Looks to be a heavily worn piece from the WW1 era.
-
Looks like a nice original to me, value maybe euro 300.? I also love that Bavarian medal bar, really outstanding combo of awards.
-
I have one of these kicking around, and they aren't that common. I always took them to be a postwar, pinback version of the wartime awards, for private purchase. Definitely not a Freikorps item.
-
Hi Tilo, Fantastic NK-Schnalle, and with the Wendische Krone really incredible.
-
Hi Roman, Very nice Urkunden-Nachlass, and not something you see every day.
-
Great group, and the Baden collectors are very 'hart am Ball' in Germany.
-
I think I saw this photo on ebay.
-
I don't like the way the Hindenburg cross is mounted, looks like it was tipped in at a later date.
-
Wow, that is steep, but perhaps it's the 100th anniversary spike in prices?
-
Agreed, looks like the Kriegsehrenkreuz fuer Heldenmuetige Tat.
-
I think I'd trade my mother for the Halkett Schnalle, fantastic.
-
Spectacular and unusual combo on this one. Really great Schnalle.
-
He has a very 'sweet' name, too.
-
Very nice and rare medal.

EK 1870 More Details on 1870 EK Winner?
VtwinVince posted a topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I have a medal bar from an Oberleutnant Mueller. All I know about him was that he was in the Feldartillerie and died in 1896. He was a veteran of the 1864 and 1866 wars as well. If anyone has more info on him, that would be a real bonus. -
EK 1914 Some attributed EK1s
VtwinVince replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Nice, always good to have pieces with a name. I have several family EK's. -
This guy must be related to my godfather, Juergen Laue, also of Magdeburg, and a Jagdpanther commander in 1945. That is a great Adelsbrief.
-
I have an award document for the Italian Order of the Crown dated 1889 to this person, but have no idea if it is a military or civil award. Any help as usual much appreciated.
-
Interesting group, and unusual to a Bavarian with the PKOM. What LSD is that second from right?
