      Great pictures. Where have you picked all these up? Stefan - Post your(s). You know the one I'm talking about. :(

      Is the case just an ordinary? Anything on the lid? I've seen the most elaborate cases for patriotic jewellery from that time (I would say 10-20ties) and these are quite sought after.

      Is the father still alive? Would love to hear were he might have "picked" up this magnificent bar.

      See if a moderator can move the thread to The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States. You might get some more response there.

      Can't think of any order (Saxon?) that could fit. Seems to have been on something similar to the St:Heini ribbon.

      Let's illustrate the thread with the missing knopfloch.

      No. Everything you see, except the promotion docs, were kept together. Somebody opened his big wallet for this group. One might object to the fact of letting the dealer maximize his profit. But at least it's "almost" intact and hopefully in the hands of someone with an genuine interest in history. One thing is certain, he won't get his money back in an foreseeable future.

      I would guess so. Here you could see what the whole muntion, with paper-cartridge and bullet, looked like.

      No, I didn't bid on it. Just thought we had to save this for posterity, as we won't see something like this in a long time. I try to refrain from bidding on groupings that are being split up. It's a despicable action from the seller, to act on peoples will to keep something intact for future generations.

      And this were not all, as I haven't posted some minor commemoratives, documents and awards to other members of the family. The grouping were completely split up by the greedy seller, most of it were kept together, but at such cost! The vile dealer sure did maximize his profit.
