Excellent group, and you're right, the condition of the spange is incredible. I find it interesting that Teubner is a Krankenpfleger and then later a Landsturmmann.
-
Really outstanding bar, particularly with the Hessen award. Although an NCO's award, you don't see them often on spangen.
-
Very interesting group, Claudio, my compliments. I am particularly partial to anything from the Saxon duchies, so for a Badener this is something very unusual.
-
This combination is making absolutely no sense to me.
-
Wow, very nice pair. Could we see the reverses of the crosses?
-
Really outstanding grouping, I think the bits of shrapnel really make it incredible.
-
Scott, I had a good look at this one as well, and I think both Saxon medals are spangenstuecke.

Prinz Alfons Erinnerungsabzeichen
VtwinVince replied to VtwinVince's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
Jason, I think it was given to persons deemed worthy by Prinz Alfons, with no particular award criterion. -
I guess the first thing that comes to mind is a RAO2.
-
The Hindenburg cross is not mounted consistently with the others, looks like the ribbon has been swapped.
-
I like it, always nice with the jeweller's tag.
-
Yup, either an MEZ2 or an EK2. I have a similar bar with this sort of weird order of precedence.
-
Brian, it looks like the Hindenburg cross has been swapped onto the bar, judging from the reverse. Perhaps there was an unofficial award there, such as the Kyffhaeuser medal, before?
-
Wow Scott, I'm really liking that SWA bar, a real beauty. And Chet, you're right about the scarcity of the Baden Merit Medal on the war ribbon. I only have one group with this medal, but it's from the 1870 war.
-
One word describes this set: spitzenklasse.
-
Scott, is that the correct ribbon for the Baden medal?
-
Outstanding set, thanks for showing.
-
I have an unusual RAO4mK which, instead of having the usual enamel in the crown, has just a pierced crown. I have no doubt about the authenticity, and there is no evidence of there ever having been enamel in the crown. Unfortunately I can't post scans, but has anyone ever heard of such a variant? It is unmarked, and has what appears to be a Neuhaus-style eagle.
-
Agreed, this has passed from humorous to annoying.
-
Ken, early on in the war the individual regiments often had their number on the cloth covering of their Pickelhaubes.
-
Really outstanding group, especially with the document for the Verdienstkreuz, very rare. I'm still looking for one of these in the case.
-
Very unique item, and the core details are great on the EK.
-
I don't know if he was active in the second war, but I think it's likely, as he was heavily involved with the Stahlhelm during the inter-war years.
-
Good job on the restoration of this bar to its proper state.
-
Agreed, I wasn't born until September 1962, but I can remember Knight's Crosses being had for 100.00.
