I picked up a leather carrying bucket last weekend at a junk store, described as a 'shot bucket'. It has the royal coat of arms on it, below which is an embossed 'N'. There are also some number embossed in the bottom. It is lined with canvas, and very well made. Does anyone have experience with these things?

Fantastic and very unusual spange.
-
I have a group of documents coming to a winner of the White Falcon and the Wilhelm Ernst War Cross.
-
Looks like a jeweler's copy for the orders bar.
-
I also vote for Prussian mount. I've done this on a couple of groups over the years for display purposes, and you get good at it with practice.
-
Ooooh, very nice 'Baeckermuetzen'.
-
Unbelievable pieces, the earliest examples of these I've seen in a long time.
-
Very nice spange, Christophe, congratulations. But how do you know the first is not for the second class of the Albert Order?
-
Hmm, interesting. Must be some sort of luxury Spangenstueck.
-
Holy cow, Don, now you're rolling out the heavy artillery. Are those ones marked for gold content as well?
-
Hi Alex, Yes, it is marked 333 on the side of the Oese.
-
Thanks Alex, that is the same as my version.
-
Thanks, Beau, that's the figure I was looking for.
-
Does anyone have a rough estimate as to the number of these awarded?
-
I saw this one, and was not convinced on the combination or the clasps.
-
Hi Rudi, Once again, very nice Konvolut, especially with the Krieger-Ehrenzeichen.
-
I agree with Mike on the reverse hardware, certainly looks like it was lifted from a breast star.
-
That is a very interesting example. I'd like to hear what the EK gurus have to say in terms of who the maker might be.
-
Good Lord, that is an incredible collection they have there.
-
It doesn't look like much, but boy is that a rare one.
-
Very nice group, especially with the St. Stanislaus.
-
As I said on the 'other forum', I don't care for the swords on this PKO4, but I do think it is an older piece, possibly a Spangenstueck. However, it does not belong on this bar, rather I think someone swapped out an HOHmS. I have a similar PKO4mS which has swords identical to the award pieces, but it is unmarked.

Damenschleife, aber ohne Dame.
-
Rudi, the condition and quality of your items never cease to amaze me.
-
Agreed, that looks like another Frankenspange from Austria.
