Ach du liebe Zeit, what a great bar. Early double BZL recipient, most unusual.
-
Did anyone see the engraved piece offered by Niemann a couple of weeks ago?
-
Alex, the second type with smooth arms is becoming scarce, prices are usually in the 4-500.00 USD range for these now. But you have to watch out for some good fakes.
-
Is it loose or on a bar? Which maker is it from?
-
Very nice and early document, when the EK2 still meant something. My grandfather got his at exactly the same time with Res. Inf. Rgt. 203 for actions at Dixmude. I believe he was the first enlisted man in this unit to be so decorated.
-
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I really like this ensemble.
-
Did you say you traded this for 75 pounds? I hope I read that wrong.
-
If anyone has had dealings with the German dealer Markus Bertram, I would be grateful to hear about it.
-
Fantastic, Paul, that reads like a who's who of members of the Juncker families.
-
Looks good to me.
-
That's a really nice bar, I love the more obscure Saxon combos.
-
Ach du Lieber, stop the torture. That is simply stunning. Any idea whom the recipient was? Perhaps the same guy as the Hanoverian order?
-
Scott, I have a cased one without crown. Definitely much rarer with crown. As for price, I'm not sure.

EK 1914 EK1 1914 marked 800 and 26 incused
VtwinVince replied to lisbon 67's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Does anyone have an image of a genuine example of this combo? -
Agreed, pretty boring so I'll take it off your hands. Really nice example, and scarce in the case. I only have one, on a group with the 50 jubilee button.
-
Interesting, and contrary to regulations wearing this as a pinback.
-
Hmm, I thought this badge fell into the realm of "fantasy items", along with the notorious Balloon Badge.

EK 1914 EK Doc teaser question...
VtwinVince replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Okay, I'm really reaching here, but the "stellvertretend", or acting, has been crossed out of the Major's title, so maybe a post-armistice promotion for him? -
EK 1914 EK Doc teaser question...
VtwinVince replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Interesting document, Chris, I'll guess that since it is issued "Im Felde" late in November, 1918 ie. post-armistice, then this would be a very late field award. -
EK 1914 EKI, Not at all Correct
VtwinVince replied to hipnos's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Joe's right, that is an odd pin arrangement, and maybe it's just the photo, but I don't like the details of the frame. -
Unbelievable, you've got to wonder how many of the medals on those bars are fake.
-
A nice example in "Scheissmetall", I like it.

EK 1914 One of my favorite 1914 EK2s
VtwinVince replied to Eric Stahlhut's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Great find, Eric. I love these freaky EK's. -
Congratulations on a nice bar, Miguel. I love the St. Henry Medal. Is yours an award piece or private purchase? On that note, does anyone have an award number for the St. Henry Medal in the Franco-Prussian War?
-
Hear, hear, Rick and Stogie. The first place I always consult regarding Imperial is right here. I've been collecting a long time, and I'm always amazed at how little I really know.
