One of the best pieces from the auction0
-
All those "Silber" marked pieces were recently sold as part of a larger auction. Those pieces are basically collectors copies from the beginning of the 20th century. Some are better made then others but still not made before 1918.
In regards to the piece in Question: I would not want to buy it.

The Trophy pieces are a lot smaller then anything awarded arround 1900. I used to own one with Trophy and one with Trophy and swords. Maybe I will find seom pictures later.
But again. The earlier the smaller they are - as a rule of thumb.
Here the reverse of an knight 1st class in gold from the beginning of WWI:
Sorry for the bad picture quality. IT looks a lot better in real life: Red and yellow gold detailing

Humbert & Sohn signed only H & S. Never saw H.

Well, this here would be one example to figure out if a Wagner Red Eagle is a Wagner Red Eagle:
When comparing the eagle above and the one on your piece it becomes pretty obvious that there is a big difference between those two. Since they used stenciles in the old days the eagles always look exactly the same within a certain time period.
The eagle shown here is the original one. There are more images at: Eagle Design

I just try to say that the ones with the die flaw are definetly periode.
Yet, the 1957 are very well made, too.

I would not want to buy this particular one as orignal Wagner piece.0

I actually have a few medal bars withose die-flaws crosses on them.
Keep in mind that those were made after the war by Steinhauer & Lueck. "After" meaning after the new orders and decorations law from 1957.

Hi Darrell,
I see that you may have already found the link to my web page.
This particular piece is one of the very early ones made by the official designer and jewler J.G.Hossauer in Berlin. He is the one that made the initial tooling for this decoration.
The order is still awarded today. Only selected scientists and artsist are members of this very exclusive order.
Enjoy
Andreas

Daniel's posting above shows 937 and mine does too.
Rod
Actually, this does exist. 937/1000 parts of silver equals exactly 15 Loth. Loth was the old unit to measure precious metal content. Read more here: Silver content marks

Dear Jacky,
nobody knows what else was on the bar. I believe it was possble to wear both, medal and Red Eagle Order since we are talking about officially unrelated awards.

Couldn't they be worn together with and without swords, if they came from the same duchy? In Baden this was indeed possible. Or would he just have gotten the swords awarded?!
The saxons actually alowed that. Bars showing 2 of the same order are actually common.
