medalnet

I think he had that in one of his thinner catalogues listed, but I will check later.

Not from the Doorn period, but I believe that Thies had a Eagle of the Knights for sale in one of his auctions in case with documents.

OK, I went back into the original post and added to the pictures.

Both 3rd classes are Silver gilt!

This may help: two MVO's on medal bars. Both 4th class with crown and swords in silver gilt: left MVO 3 Silver gilt - right MVO 4 with gold center MVO 3 Silver gilt

What I always liked about those are those bars that may be "home"-made and do not fit in any regulations.

For sale on the E-Stand a named (von Hollen) Stahlhelm flag bearer group:

Apreciate your answers.

Wilhelm issued a new decree on January 18, 1865, as follows: The stars of the Red Eagle- and the Crown Order 1st class will not be worn simultaneously. The star of the Red Eagle Order 1st class will not be worn anymore if somebody has newly been awarded the Crown Order 1st class. In this case a ribbon in the colors of the Red Eagle Order made of enamel will be put around the tips of the Crown Order star and around the cross arms of the insignia itself. The Red Eagle Order 1st class cross has to be worn around the neck. Same was ordered to be done in case the Red Eagle Order 1st class was awarded after somebody had received the Crown Order 1st class. It gets even more complicated with swords, swords on ring and the oak leaf of the Red Eagle Order.

Hallo, does anybody know anything about this medal? Thanks in advance

...and the reverse

all right folks, from today's auction: any opinions?

Certainly not my field of expertiese. A friend just got this one. Looks very much a high quality made badge to me.

Would you be able to post yours here as well?

...and here it is:

How about this rare badge:

...nevertheless the reverse of the Shaper Navy XXXX badge:

Would it not be common courtesy to ask permission before posting private correspondence/emails on the internet?

one will never know Here another regular Wagner:

The crown order that started this thread has those typical swords used by the firm of Godet.

Here is a nice example of the Friedrich Cross on the non-combatant ribbon:

I believe this comes from the ANS sale?! If so, they really liked to buy their items in Paris. The introduction of the Morton & Eden catalogues talks about it, too. Still nice and before 1940th.

You will also find Landwehr and Regular Long service awards on one bar. Same is true for within a state or from two different states.

This may be unrelated to the initial question, but in regards to the last remark: The price of an replacement order decoration before 1918 was rather high. Imagine that 20 Goldmark almost represented a weeks wage. You may have gotten a knight 1st class for that. I believe that orders got rarely replaced, just for monetary reasons. One had to very well off to acquire additional or replacement pieces. The attached list comes form the Hoeftman and give a nice overview on pricing for Prussian decorations arround the century change. III.Reich pieces did not cost anything in comparison.

The Hessenthal/Schreiber would be still my favorite, since it has all imperial medals (not order decorations) listed with lots of information. Yet, one needs to read German.
