Gentlemen, Did anyone have luck at the last auction? I found the group of Hauptmann Heine particularly interesting. I picked up a couple of items, but nothing too spectacular.
-
I've had a couple of identical ones to these. Sort of similar to the Lusitania medal with the skeleton on it.
-
Sounds interesting, but what's DNW?
-
Hey Komtur, eine richtig tolle Spange.
-
The quality of the enamel work does not look up to snuff, either.
-
Gentlemen, I recently acquired a spange from a member (thanks, Heiko) with an EK2 with two unofficial battle clasps. Does anyone know how many different ones were produced, and the comparative rarity of these?
-
Nice looking badge and a match for a cased one I used to have.
-
Thanks for your thoughts, SPM, you raise some interesting points.
-
Gentlemen, Just wanted your thoughts on the Guido Lancelle group being offered by Weitze.
-
Of course Mackensen boasted that in old age he could still fit into his subaltern's uniform. He is my favorite Imperial field marshal. I have a couple of original photos of him inspecting units of the Kriegsmarine in the 1930's. I wonder what happened to his decorations.
-
Great photos and history. Reminds me alot of my family connection, both to Koenigsberg and to the 5. Garde Regiment zu Fuss.
-
Dave, thanks for that interesting info on the St. Henry Medal. Any idea how many silver ones were awarded in WW1? I just got in a nice spange with one on it.
-
In German that's what we would call a real "Weihnachtsbaum".
-
Really nice Weimar grouping, which I saw you post on the "other forum".

Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross

I believe there is a Bluecherstern currently up for grabs on Weitze's site..... -
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't alot of the Foreman collection loaned for filming of the 1970's series The Fall of Eagles?
-
Oh man, look at that Bruststern zum hohen Orden vom schwarzen Adler.
-
It states in the salutation that he is a Hauptmann und Rittergutsbesitzer.
-
LOL, I don't recall the "Wuestenfuchs" being a recipient of the 1914 Grosskreuz.
-
Yup, a recruitment commemorative, and a nice one at that.
-
Yup, mine came off a bottle of Liebfraumilch, or something.
-
Agreed, this badge is identical to a genuine engraved and cased example I had many years ago.
-
Konnichi-wa. Holy cow, two Deutsches Kreuz in Silber? Now those aren't common.
-
Hey, and don't forget the aviators, Hasso von Wedel and Erich-Ruediger von Wedel. My uncle was a good friend of Hasso, as they both served together in JG 3 on the Channel in 1940. Hasso was shot down and taken POW during the BoB, as the highest-ranking Luftwaffe fighter pilot to be captured (Oberstleutnant). He was later repatriated from Bowmanville, and apparently was killed in the fighting for Berlin.

The pin and hinge do not match the PO badge I have from the UM.
