Interesting, wearing two flight badges at once.
-
This just gets better and better.
-
I'd say more than 'just fine'. Could you show the reverse? And I think our Bavarian colleagues would like detailed shots of the MVK's etc.

If he was wearing a war ribbon in the buttonhole, the MMC would supercede the EK and be worn with some sort of device, usually swords. In this photo it is clearly not a second war ribbon under the EK. Rumey was a Prussian who served in Jasta 5. Is there a connection between Jasta 5 and another principality?
-
Too rich for my blood, but I think the construction was genuine.
-
Great photo, what uniform is that guy wearing?
-
These do turn up from time to time, and the statutes allowed for wear of both.
-
I saw this one as well. A scarce combo, but possible. The bar's construction looks OK to me as well.
-
Yes indeed, although those photos leave a little to be desired.
-
Thanks for the geneology.
-
Nice one, in good shape and scarce. I have the corresponding cross, if you're interested.
-
Ha, I was wondering when someone would comment on this monstrosity. At least the seller states that it's a fake.
-
Nice family portrait, are those all Hemmerle pieces?
-
Any idea as to how this guy is related to the Bavarian aviator?
-
I can't really help other than to say that I agree that there should be a OZL on there. Fortunately that's a fairly easy swap. I also would like to see detailed photos of those documents, in particular the one for the Ehrenbecher.
-
Gulp. Prices are definitely a little nuts right now.
-
I think it has potential, is there a dot after the 8?
-
Any bar with Siam is interesting and uncommon.
-
That's a good question, I don't think records were kept on that one.
-
The final price wasn't out of line when you consider the condition and the maker.
-
I was watching it closely as well, but the final price was 'all the money' for me. An unusual bar and perfectly original.
-
Did you wind up buying that one?
-
A real minefield. Blass faked a lot of these obscure life saving medals way back. I got stuck with one from Weimar, you can see it on the right here. You need to get exact weights and measurements, and very detailed scans in order to make any kind of judgement.
-
Interesting. This is not a firearms forum, so not sure if anyone can add anything tangible.
-
I think that explains it.
