I'm also sceptical about that bar, too easy to fake with that type of sewing.
-
That's a new one for me as well. Thies has a checkered past when it comes to selling fakes.
-
Agreed, pictures aren't optimal, but the fakers are busy.
-
I saw that one and thought the whole thing was a fake, including the spurious engraving filled with spelling errors.
-
OK, I'm in agreement that he hopefully finds something useful to do in the future.
-
I think Mr. Notopol is the agitated one, but I don't mince words either.
-
The wear looks consistent with an original.
-
The seller claims that this piece came out of the von Alvensleben estate. Buy the piece, not the story.
-
Sign of the times. Yes, there are lots of dealers, not the point. And as far as problems go, picking fights with heavily armed neighbours is a pretty stupid survival strategy. I could go on.
-
Sorry to hear this, I had only good experiences dealing with Baldes. Regarding the political climate in Europe, I think the people there need to make some coherent demands of their so-called leaders, before it's too late.
-
OK, got it. If it is messed with, it's an extremely slick piece of work.
-
I don't have a lot of experience with these, having owned only a few, including one first class with oakleaves, which were of the solid variety (marked for gold content). Your piece looks good to me.
-
Rick is correct. I would like to see extreme close-ups of the details in the heraldry.
-
Hmmm, I guess you could get triggered by these.....
-
Hard to say. The gapping of the ribbons is not even, and it is pretty easy to mess with this type of bar.
-
Anyone have any ideas about this one? There is a name scratched in to the back which I can't make out.
-
That's a pretty weird combo. Allegedly an Austrian, with one Saxon award. A HK but no corresponding Austrian WW1 commemorative. A Karl Troop Cross with a Signum Memoriae. And where is the reverse medallion for the AK?
-
Hard to find these without damaged enamel, but still crazy money.
-
Nichts zu danken, und es sieht so aus, als ob der Bandring ersetzt ist.
-
That's pretty cool enamel work, but this forum is for Imperial Germany.
-
Continuing with the HOH theme, not much enamel on this one.
-
Could be anything from a Hauptmann on up.
-
I agree, 1870 KDM.
-
I thought all the cases from Foehr were scripted on the outside?
-
Hmm, could be real, precedence is correct for post-Anschluss, but so many fakes are floating around these days.
