I also know of Hauptmann Laue, father of an old family friend and adjutant to Eitel-Friedrich von Preussen, of the 1. Garde-Regiment-zu-Fuss, who also had the HOH and BZL combo.
-
That is a great group, especially with the papers. I've only managed to obtain one Bavarian MVK grouping from 1870, so I know how scarce these are, and with the mini-spange simply outstanding.
-
Incredible pieces, don't need to say more than that.
-
Hi Timo, That one looks vaguely familiar....I'm glad it's back with you again, it is indeed a much-travelled spange.
-
VERY interesting that you got that one, I didn't think the owner was selling it.
-
Good job Tom, and good luck with the search.
-
Paul, I would if I could, but my computer has problems with this site. The doc is dated June 8, 1918 and is for Landwehr-Infanterieregiment 15.
-
Apparently he got a Lippe Merit Cross prewar. The doc I have is for the HOHwS.
-
I have a document from this officer. If anyone could provide any biographical information on him, it would be appreciated.

EK 1870 GROSSKREUZ DES EISERNEN KREUZES 1870.
VtwinVince replied to Troy Tempest's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I saw that one. Not exactly growing on trees, those things. -
If that's a Turkish Iron Halfmoon second from last, what's the last one, Bavarian LSM?
-
Sascha, it wasn't free, but I think the price I paid was more than fair, considering the rarity of these jubilee badges on this grade of the order.
-
Colin, that sounds amazing. We know that early cases alone are in the 300-pound range. So, nobody else has ever found anything interesting on ebay? Hard to believe.....
-
Holy cow Wild Card, that is incredible. Can we see the reverse please?
-
Just out of curiosity I thought I'd start a thread on the best items people have found on eBay. My current front-runner came in today: cased PKO2 with 60 Jubilee button by Wagner, with the most intricately sewn neck ribbon I've seen. According to Ludvigsen only 24 awarded until 1913. Would like to hear about other people's finds.
-
This combo is not common, but I like the construction of this spange.
-
I've tried to have a PKO2mX restored by my jeweler, but he won't touch it, as it would have to be heated in the re-enameling process, with potentially disastrous results.

Marine Flanders medal bar
VtwinVince replied to dante's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
Funny that they spelled it wrong. My grandfather had a similar bar made for 'Dixmude'. -
Mensch, eine richtig seltene Sache.
-
Agreed, I have numerous examples, none of which have this or any other mark on the ring.
-
Interesting and rather obscure award.
-
Nice one Beau. I have one on a bar, and think it's an underappreciated item.
-
EK 1870 ek 1870 or 1914 ? opinions please
VtwinVince replied to hagahr's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Very weird, and why is it on the Hindenburg cross ribbon? -
Man, this thing is getting swapped around like some crack-whore......
-
Very nice, and you don't see many of these, considering the number struck. I've never seen one on a bar.
