Brian, it looks like the Hindenburg cross has been swapped onto the bar, judging from the reverse. Perhaps there was an unofficial award there, such as the Kyffhaeuser medal, before?
-
Wow Scott, I'm really liking that SWA bar, a real beauty. And Chet, you're right about the scarcity of the Baden Merit Medal on the war ribbon. I only have one group with this medal, but it's from the 1870 war.
-
One word describes this set: spitzenklasse.
-
Scott, is that the correct ribbon for the Baden medal?
-
Outstanding set, thanks for showing.
-
I have an unusual RAO4mK which, instead of having the usual enamel in the crown, has just a pierced crown. I have no doubt about the authenticity, and there is no evidence of there ever having been enamel in the crown. Unfortunately I can't post scans, but has anyone ever heard of such a variant? It is unmarked, and has what appears to be a Neuhaus-style eagle.
-
Agreed, this has passed from humorous to annoying.
-
Ken, early on in the war the individual regiments often had their number on the cloth covering of their Pickelhaubes.
-
Really outstanding group, especially with the document for the Verdienstkreuz, very rare. I'm still looking for one of these in the case.
-
Very unique item, and the core details are great on the EK.
-
I don't know if he was active in the second war, but I think it's likely, as he was heavily involved with the Stahlhelm during the inter-war years.
-
Good job on the restoration of this bar to its proper state.
-
Agreed, I wasn't born until September 1962, but I can remember Knight's Crosses being had for 100.00.
-
I also know of Hauptmann Laue, father of an old family friend and adjutant to Eitel-Friedrich von Preussen, of the 1. Garde-Regiment-zu-Fuss, who also had the HOH and BZL combo.
-
That is a great group, especially with the papers. I've only managed to obtain one Bavarian MVK grouping from 1870, so I know how scarce these are, and with the mini-spange simply outstanding.
-
Incredible pieces, don't need to say more than that.
-
Hi Timo, That one looks vaguely familiar....I'm glad it's back with you again, it is indeed a much-travelled spange.
-
VERY interesting that you got that one, I didn't think the owner was selling it.
-
Good job Tom, and good luck with the search.
-
Paul, I would if I could, but my computer has problems with this site. The doc is dated June 8, 1918 and is for Landwehr-Infanterieregiment 15.
-
Apparently he got a Lippe Merit Cross prewar. The doc I have is for the HOHwS.
-
I have a document from this officer. If anyone could provide any biographical information on him, it would be appreciated.

EK 1870 GROSSKREUZ DES EISERNEN KREUZES 1870.

I saw that one. Not exactly growing on trees, those things. -
If that's a Turkish Iron Halfmoon second from last, what's the last one, Bavarian LSM?
-
Sascha, it wasn't free, but I think the price I paid was more than fair, considering the rarity of these jubilee badges on this grade of the order.
