Ribbon and ring are not correct, but otherwise looks OK.
-
This one looks a little too 'postfrisch' for my liking.
-
Very nice indeed, I know where this would find a good home....
-
Thanks Steve. I actually had a cased Poellath pilot which I found in a Bavarian town in 1979. It was mint and engraved on the reverse with the pilot's name, squadron and date of award. I paid about 50.00 for it. Unfortunately it is long gone, and I wish I had taken pictures of it, it was stunning.
-
That's too bad. I've sent it back, and the quest continues. In five years I've only been able to snag one genuine Poellath badge.
-
Christoph, that is another real beauty, congratulations. I have a real soft spot for these trapezoidal bars.
-
Chris, looks like an interesting combo. I would do it according to statutes. I've done a couple of medal bars myself, so if you need help, drop me a line.
-
Wow, that is some Kettchen, could you post close-ups of the other orders?
-
Thanks for the feedback, Don. It closely matches the one at the end of Baldes' Bavaria section. I sent detailed scans to Ferg, and he's wary of this one, possibly a late strike. In hand it feels very convincing, but I'm going to send it back, since I'm looking for a good piece from the award period.
-
Comments welcomed on this one. Pin replaced with a screw-disc attachment and post device behind cross of crown.
-
Not the greatest pictures, but from what I see it looks like a genuine award piece.
-
Aha, that's where that one wound up, I was after it as well.
-
Those are very nice NK-Schnallen, I especially like the first two.
-
Very nice bar, I love anything with an HOH on it.
-
I agree, a nice piece. Of course an award piece would be significant money.
-
Wow, is that an RAO4mS am NKB?
-
Nice pieces, I wish I had one to show. Still on my 'want' list.
-
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has such fantasies.
-
Great stuff, Claudio. I really like the von Epp Max Josef, interesting that it was gifted by Neal O'Connor. As for marches, you can't beat the Radetsky, my grandfather's favorite.
-
Danke Dir, Claudio, those are absolutely fantastic.
-
It is a relatively scarce award, and sought after on medal bars, but they don't command the sort of money you'd expect. Still a nice piece.
-
Here is Onkel Fritz being attacked by the Maikaefers.
-
Thanks for clarifying, Claudio. I have a picture of Wilhelm wearing this Schnalle, and that makes sense.
-
Hey, the Maikaefer figures prominently in a certain Wilhelm Busch comic, I'll have to find it.
