Again, these run the gamut from pretty good to crappy. Another reason why I've quit collecting.
-
Clearly a cast copy from these images.
-
Right, thanks for that. But I don't think I've ever seen a legit Feldschnalle with that particular device.
-
Hmmm, anyone seen a real bar with that device on the HK ribbon?
-
Outstanding, this is great.
-
I think the best reference source is a forum such as this one, and the collective experience gained by serious collectors.
-
I saw this one too, and honestly didn't pay much attention to it, as fleabay has been inundated with fake Feldschnallen lately.
-
Well, begging your Imperial Majesty for forgiveness. Crusty old guy out.
-
In light of recent revelations, I think anyone with any 'trust' in these institutions is delusional.
-
Just say 'no' to social media.
-
It's a nice bar to a long serving officer, and is not from the 1870 period. I agree that the ribbon is that of the FEK, and that would date this Feldschnalle after 1934. It is an 'old-fashioned' bar for this period, but the Bavarians were an iconoclastic bunch.
-
Quite right, certainly much scarcer than a PLM, and your example is a beauty. It would be interesting to see the Lippe cross without the screw disc.
-
Thanks for the update, some of these are getting scary-good, unfortunately.
-
Same to you my friend, very festive photo!
-
Very nice projects. I'd like to see better photos of the Lippe Kreuz fuer Heldenmutige Tat in screwback version.
-
OK, the reason I ask is that aluminum examples do exist, as on this bar.
-
This guy would have had to have been either a vet of or on active service with a German unit in 1897 to qualify. You're right that this group is unusual, it's much more common to find German groups with Dutch decorations rather than the other way around.
-
Don, are those TKM's made of silver or aluminum? The first one looks like a cast for sure.
-
I've also been watching that stupid big bar, classic Austrian faker material. And look at the number of bids.
-
I think it was originally red and white.

EK2 1870 need some help

That is a crazy number. I would value this set at no more than 700. euro. -
Fantastic to see both Schnallen variants from the same guy, echt Spitze.
-
I dragged out these docs, and it looks like another Hahn, this time Gustav Adolf Louis, I had him confused with one of the other Hahns. Too many roosters in the proverbial hen house!

If the price is right..... -
That is a very impressive Nachlass Claudio. It is quite heavy on the 'third Program', which surprises me coming from you.
