Matt, I had a look at this one, but for the same reasons reject it. I find the order of precedence weird, as well as the combination of awards, not to mention the new looking ribbons.
-
Ach du lieber Gott Rudi, did you win the Lotto? Incredible Sterne.
-
Great photo. Interesting that he has a St. Henry, but no EK1. I just got a pinback Kriegsverdienstkreuz of Lippe, which is identical to the Honor Cross, but without the motto. I'm looking for a photo of this in wear.
-
Very nice. Coincidentally, I just got one of these in yesterday, but missing the ribbon.
-
I also do not like these Poellath badges at all.
-
Why are the sword handles missing in the first picture?
-
Nice document. Could we see pictures of the uniform and jacket?
-
As usual, some exceptional items on display here. Komtur, I have never seen the mini of the Silver Wedding badge before, outstanding.
-
I saw this spange on ebay, and quite liked it, congratulations.
-
These are my favorite Saxon orders, very nice. And that officer's spange is truly incredible. BTW I think I saw the urkunde on ebay?
-
It does get quite confusing, as I also have a Patent from 1794 for Port-Epee Faehnrich Christoph von Watter. :speechless:
-
I've managed to figure out that this guy was born in 1775 in Stargard, and was appointed Oberst in 1815, post-Waterloo. It would be nice to find out if he took part in that action.
-
I have a Patent issued to a Carl Christian von Watter, appointing him as a Second-Lieutenant in the Unruh'schen Infanterie Regiment in 1797. I believe he died in the 1830's, but if anyone has more information on this fellow, it would be much appreciated.
-
Ja, wirklich ein leckeres Bisschen.
-
Sandro, are you trying to identify the recipient?
-
A nice original example.
-
Please, someone with deep pockets needs to keep this stuff together for posterity.
-
Very weird piece of good quality. Hard to say where it was produced.
-
I think this RAO is one of the 'funky chicken' fakes we have seen a few years ago.
-
I agree completely with Sascha, not original Jubilaeumszeichen. I have only ever found a couple of real ones, so you have to be careful.
-
That really is an incredible spange, which I would think should easily fetch 10K.
-
Orange-Nassau was similar, but I think had a white stripe on the edge as well. I really like this bar.
-
Outstanding bar, congratulations.
-
That is the nicest grouping I have seen in years. Hopefully a rich, philanthropic collector will keep it all together.

I think the jeweler ran out of stock on the ribbon halfway through, and used a piece from a different stock, explaining the different UV reactions.
