    1. I agree, nice and scarce item. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing Bronsart von Schellendorf's example when it surfaced years ago.
    2. That Krose cross is really interesting, never seen one before. Tiny bit of enamel on these.
    3. I watched those auctions, at least the items were described as copies. They were actually pretty good, but still stupid prices to pay for fakes.
    4. That's a tough one, certainly not an award piece, but very convincing construction. I have a similar one with pierced crown which has been dismissed as a fake, but which I believe is an interwar example.
    5. What constitutes a 'native Canadian'? I was born here, that makes me native.
    6. I think fleabay has become one of the most heavily manipulated sources of fakery around.
    7. Wow, not only the OTT ridiculous engraving, but the 'period correct' nonsensical lithography on the inside of the case.
    8. This one's seen some action, but it's scarce: BMVO4mdK by Hemmerle 1905, a converted piece with the flames separately attached.
    9. Indeed, the Rittmeister would be pleased with that grouping. More Wuerttemberg.
    10. There are a bunch of fake cases making the rounds now on German fleabay, including some for the various grades of the AO. So yes, extreme vigilance is now the rule.
    11. Unfortunately it's bronze gilt and hollow. But nice quality regardless.
