All terrible fakes, I hope these bidders aren't real either.
-
I saw that one, not a bad price in spite of the damage.
-
That second one looks like a Steinhauer piece
-
I hope it hasn't been glued in. And you'd have to pry open the insert, weird.
-
The price on the KO2 is in the ballpark, but what happened to the inside of the case lid?
-
Agreed, although for that money I would expect at least one scarce award on the bar.
-
I had a good look at that HOH, keep in mind it is an Inhaber-Kreuz, so technically not an order.
-
That last one was on my radar, unique combination with the much-faked Anhalt order.
-
Yup, your typcial Polish\Lithuanian crap.
-
I would agree, but what does Claudio think?
-
Agreed, and I really like these 'black and white', all-Prussia groupings. You should make a lowball offer on it....
-
I've been watching that one as well Rick. I still think it's way overpriced.
-
Nice Haube. How did you identify the wearer?
-
I call this generation of fake RAO's the 'funky chicken' variant, based on the spurious eagle painting. They've been floating around German fleabay for a few years now.
-
It could be one of the better Blass fakes from the '70's, but still a fake. The only SAO that was real that I ever saw come up on fleabay was a very early sash badge, missing the centre medallions and marked for Hossauer of Berlin. It was also marked Louis d'Or for gold content, which would have dated it very early. I somehow missed the auction, and it wound up selling for less than the junk gold value.
-
Thread looks modern as well.
-
The market has been flooded in recent years with reductions of the SAO, and other spurious grades of the order. I'm sceptical.
-
I would need to see better pictures of a couple of those to be convinced as to originality.
-
I would say more likely made in Lithuania last week.
-
So does the other one. I'm not convinced by these.
-
That thread looks pretty modern, and why are the two EK ribbons of such different condition?
-
That's a tough one, could even be an Ehrenzeichen fuer deutsche Volkspflege.
-
Aha, those are interesting connections, thanks for the clarifications. My ancestor, Sally Innes Forbes, was descended from Alexander Forbes, Earl of Pitsligo and Baronet of Nova Scotia.
-
Do you know how this guy is related to the Luftwaffe ace Egmont zur Lippe?
-
I see this guy is selling a big Austrian bar also in a box. Very weird seeing two like this at once.
