Should be massive silver gilt construction with screwed in swords. Most were produced by Godet. Here is my example, which looks like it was run over by a tank, and I had to replace one sword hilt.
-
Some nice material here, but I saw that colonial bar and was immediately suspicious.
-
Thanks Claudio, you have to wonder if this was an 'honest mistake'.
-
Funnily enough, he wasn't entitled to the Eichenlaub for the OZL.
-
Good idea, although we already have a thread listing hundreds of fakes on fleabay.
-
Thanks for chiming in Lorin, and it is frightening how sophisticated some of these fakes are getting.
-
If that's enamel, it looks pretty weird.
-
I personally would steer well clear of that one.
-
Yup, I had a close look at that one and was almost fooled. The swords didn't look right.
-
True, and my examples have the writing more centred in the lid, and the line spacing is tighter.
-
The fakers are getting much better with the Poellath cases these days, they used to be easy to spot.
-
Who is the seller? You need to be extremely careful with this order, I've seen some incredibly good fakes in recent years.
-
Mr. Schraegstich strikes again.
-
I'm not sure, but I think the total of all awards with the breast star was 34.
-
Isn't number four the 1866 Cross?
-
Interesting piece Rick. Sorry, I think the total for 1866 is around 200 produced by Rothe, so a rare variant.
-
It has been offered on a buy-it-now on US ebay for some time. Graf has attached the link above.
-
Walter, the PLM with Urkunde from Jacobs looks genuine to me, or?
-
I can confirm that Himmler was not awarded the FKE, and he would certainly have applied for one had he been eligible.
-
Outstanding Nachlass Claudio, I see what you mean about the Bierzipfel, very unusual.
-
Is a GC in your future Rick?
-
It's more garbage from the Schraegstich Faker, run the other way. If you want a nice colonial bar with MEZ2, drop me a line.
-
Here is a real example of the Wuerttemberg MVO in gold, produced between 1892-1914.
-
I should have requested better photos of that Wuerttemberg bar, I just noticed that the MVO is the rare gold version with crown above the cypher, if that's real it's quite valuable.

EK collectors should have a close look at the revelations currently going on at the SDA forum regarding fake 1813 and 1870 EK's.
