Wow Scott, that is a great little Frackspange.
-
I tried to buy bar 2 some time ago, but I think Timo beat me to it. I was always convinced it was put together out of parts. The first bar is a gem.
-
Looks like a Bavarian Tapferkeitsmedaille in the buttonhole. I find it hard to believe that this guy didn't get an EK 1, considering he also has the MVO.
-
Now that's a nice combo, congratulations on this great spange.
-
Hi Heiko, My father was an East Prussian, and this was one of the expressions he liked to use. Probably not in use today.
-
Very nice group, Chris, I especially like the Feldpost, which is rare from Deutsch-Sued-West.
-
Interesting spange for sure. I have a period bar which has a piece of backing spliced on, so the recipient could add a LSC on the end, without wrecking his old bar.
-
With those pictures, it could be anything. Also, I don't like the way the edges of this cross are finished.
-
Vollidiot, sogar scheinwerfer Arschloch. What a crime this is.
-
Fantastic stuff, I can't imagine how rare that gunner's badge must be.
-
Wow, that is an amazing collection, best I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the Bavarians, as I used to have a very rare Pilot Badge that was engraved.
-
Rick, those are some beauties you've had, especially the Stern.
-
A ridiculous price even for a genuine piece, let alone a POS fake.
-
Nice Halskreuz, Ed. I have it's twin from Wagner, hollow construction with real gold. I've always found the KO to be under-appreciated and rather attractive.
-
Interesting spange, which auction is this in?
-
The Germans would call von Platen a real "Weihnachtsbaum". I count 23 orders on his spange, perhaps only outdone by the Kaiser himself.
-
Another small victory in the battle to preserve history, well done gentlemen.
-
Yup, it's also weird that this group has no Austrian or Hungarian WW1 commemoratives, seeing as it is allegedly a post-1934 bar.
-
Just got an email from Barry, and he agrees that these are fakes. They will be removed from his site immediately.
-
I just got a reply from Barry, and he is looking into the situation. Apparently he got these from someone recently in Toronto.
-
Scott, I have a two place bar with this medal and the EK2, but no swords on the ribbon.
-
Definitely weird. And isn't that the wrong ribbon for the HOH in bar one?
-
Mike, that's a nice piece, any idea who the recipient was?
-
Sascha, I just looked over the emedals site, and you are quite right. Items GST 290 and GST 281 are these fakes. I deal with Barry quite a lot, so I will contact him about this.

EK 1914 EK1 repros getting better...

Looks like that one is fresh from the Latvian mint.
