Great group and even greater EK1. That is what you call a 'heavily padded' Ordensspange.
-
Could we see closeups of the Prussian medal bar and the Austrian one? I have my doubts about the latter.
-
I agree, looks like someone swapped out a peacetime Zaehringer Loewen.
-
Very nice ensemble, Claudio. I too have a soft spot for Godet spangen.
-
Great story, Brian. Your friend steered your daughter in the right direction. I have dealt with Barry many times over the years, he's a good guy. Now I just have to get my daughter to bring me such presents.......
-
Another great piece, Rudi, congratulations. Alles Gute zum Weihnachtsfest.
-
This photo leaves me a little speechless. Incredible collection.
-
This Oberst should be an easy ID with that unique combination of awards, or?
-
Jason, my dad was from Endruhnen, not far from Gumbinnen, so a fellow Ostpreusse. The documents I have are concerning awards given to von Grolman himself. If you would like scans, PM me your email address.

EK 1870 1870 on bar... opinions welcomed
VtwinVince replied to Hauptmann's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I agree with Sascha, not an 1870-era bar, but something altered in the distant past. I have seen one other EK2 drilled this way, and I think it is real, although a strange one with the crooked core. -
Technically, the Flandernkreuz should not be on the bar with the Hindenburgkreuz, as it was an unofficial award post-1934. I like the bar.
-
Very nice items, gentlemen. I especially like the screwback version and the kettchen.
-
Another piece of museum quality, congratulations.
-
Jason, sounds like your ancestor must have come from one of the eastern provinces, judging from the last name. I have a couple of documents from the orders commission to von Grolman, I think for the Crown Order.
-
Very interesting details on a very unknown conflict. I had heard of this war, but wasn't aware that so many Germans were involved.
-
Hardy, great story and items. I think your grandfather was backing up my grandfather during the assault on Flanders in 1914.
-
Very interesting. I have a couple of documents from von Grolman somewhere.
-
According to Ludvigsen, 423 awarded from 1807-1914, so very rare.
-
Lars, that is a really great and unusual Kette.
-
What can you say, except absolutely outstanding piece. The condition is incredible. Do you have an award figure for this piece?

EK 1914 Named EK I 1914
VtwinVince replied to Vic Diehl's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I've been looking for my uncle's Ehrenpokal from 1940 for years now, and hope one day that it will turn up. Of course I would offer to pay fair market value for it. I'm glad that this item has turned out to be the real deal. -
EK 1870 1870 'A-type' EK2
VtwinVince replied to Danny70's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Typical example of the award period with lovely core details, congratulations on this one. -
Certainly an extremely interesting bar, would like to see the urkunde as well.
-
And with the MEZ1 and MEZ2 certainly 'einmalig'.
-
Wow, and I thought I had a nice Baden 1870 group. That one is incredible.
