Impressive!

Seems the seller wasn't pleased with the results.

It now has an buy it now option for 13 000 Euros!

I like what I found recently much better....

I'll guess it won't be affordable.

You wouldn't be into the game?

BUT - - - guess you noticed as well - obviously that is not the ribbon bar from the Weitze lot (the Prague bar is missing)!

Either it is another, second bar of Filgis or.... ??

Sharp eyes mister.

Now it makes some sort of sense.

Many thanks for posting the group, a shame that we don't know where is the rest (WP, medals.......)

Yes it's a big shame. Can't figure out why anyone would split the group.

I think it would commend a greater mometary value togther than now, split up. Two of the best pieces are now missing. Can't see that it would go for a premium now.

I've been reorganizing my archives and found this nice photo of three of the rarest WW2 ribbon bars I owned.

Triple NSDAP Long Service

Double RAD Long Service

SS Long Service

Niceu.

What did you think of the one sold within seconds on Niemanns site this afternoon?

Teeny weeny picture

Soldered ?se?

Thoughts?

Seems to been badly rusted and then coated with something.

What would it go for in this condition?

Found another from 1933.

OPAC

I've checked abebooks, albris, past ebay auctions but can't come up with anything.

This "Pommern Vol. 26 Issue 1" do anyone know what kind of publishing this is?

I think one of them is the prussian Luisenorden. A nice one got posted in the thread "Imperial's women's awards".

A nice cdv of the queen herself. Anyone that can make out the orders?

The same uniform the queen is wearing on the pk.

It is in the royal swedish royal collection, under an exhibit in 2000.

It isn't quite warm in Stockholm, too but every day that passes has more daylight... that's great!

Ah, home of the polar bears. May I ask what are you doing in Stockholm.

I concur with the rapid change of light. Been quite amazing change the last few days.

Thanks for replying.

Joe, I see. I've sent an messesage to the seller asking for pictures of the back. Though I will not get my hopes up as it is sadly already sold.

Sounds very interesting Henry, awaiting yor post with excitment.

I'm quite intrested with anything releated to this regiment, with it's connection to Sweden. Pommern being a old Swedish province.

Noone got a clue?

Found another PK with the queen.

What is the consensus of the pickelhaube that went on ebay some weeks ago.

Third one i've seen in my little collecting carrer.

Seems there is a name in the rear rim? Harald Olberg. The forename being a usual name in Sweden.

(Missed out on a pk with our old swedish Queen dressed up in full the uniform of a Honor Colonel. Didn't save the picture otherwise i could've showed this impressive sanke.)

I emailed him about better pictures. Here is his answer.

mit meiner kamera gehen leider keine besseren bilder. sorry

I actually believe him.

Goes under the name am-militaria, but don't know the person behind the username.

Hello Kev,

Thanks for the additional information. After using various techniques to enhance the manufacturer details on the reverse, I have come to the conclusion that it probably was manufactured by Friedrich Linden of Ludenscheid.

Currently I'm in contact with the von Luckner society in Halle, they are hopefull that they can make an identification of the medal/badge.

There are a couple of other items that came with this medal/badge - one is a skull wax seal stamp and the other is a badge with a hand holding a sword - as attached.

Cheers,

Mike

Any progress of finding out what it is?

Good thread!

Eagerly awaiting the outcome.
