Thanks for posting the photos/info. I had my eye on this little puppy as well!

Oh, one more forum speculator. I see forum members competing against me some times (I lose most of the times ). What did you think of the price? I had expected more.

Damn Damn i should've bid more

3 of the nine i've seen under my years as a collector. Will show you a diffrent variant later.

Beautiful chain Bernd. I love the combination of both Hohenzollern Honor Crosses. Shame on the Lion though.

Nice one Jason.

Correct me if i'm wrong but the stamped metal backplate indicates that's a post 1938 ribbonbar?

PLEASE forgive my ignorance , but which is the Prussian Lifesaving Medal and which is the Italien?

Doc

The beauty with orange and white ribbon i the Prussian and you'll figure out the rest.

Damn I just missed such a nice Merit Cross with named packet worn with the ribbon of the MKFVO to boot . A rare little thing with less than 600 awarded. ( Saschaw I saw that you were also intrested)

That was quick.

Thank you very much Mr. Haynes.

Maybe move the thread to it's right subforum.

Anybody know this one?

Unknown Imperial Medal Eagle and White enamel marked 950/1000 for silver content, well made and weighs 30grams

Hi RaZpuTiN,

where is the Silver content mark of 800?

You can find there LOOS at the bottom of the left picture, and that is the engraver.

This is a medal for love and poetry.

Regards

Uwe

Hi Uwe

The seller told me of the content mark. But now I see that you a correct and indeed it's the name LOOS and not 800.

Any more info on this engraver?

I'll see if I can get it at a cheap price.

Anyone seen one of these before?

In the size and pattern of the lifesaving and bravery medals

BTW though it's visible in the pictures. The piece got an Silver content mark of 800.

I know nothing about WWII german stuff but I seem to recall a fairly lengthy discussion of the "Azad Hind" ["Free India"] troops not too long ago on some part of this site.

Off the top of my head, the Azad Hind were recruited among Indian Army POWs captured (mostly) in North Africa. I believe they only ever amounted to a couple hundred men and were, after some false starts, eventually taken into the SS and organized as an anti-aircraft battery which may or may not have seen service late in the war (in Germany?).

Don't know if that rules in or out any of the ribbons on the bar but hope it's some help. Ask Ed Haynes for more info.,; he's the Indian Army guru around here!

Here is a site by a member this community i believe. http://users.skynet.be/hendrik/eng/39india.html

It give quite an good overview on awards given to members of the Indian Legion and Indian National Army. All minted in Vienna by Rudolf Souval.

And thank you Mr. Monahan i'll forward this thread to Mr. Haynes.

Sold some days ago for 78Euro

The seller got some dodgy items from time to time, but what are the opininons on this one.

The badge does not appear consistent with Juncker or Meybauer examples of a private-purchase badge. The mis-struck reverse is not consistent with either maker. Noe is the pin/hinge block.

I believe you Mr. Stogieman got yourself a nice unmarked piece some weeks ago. Perhaps you would like to share your example?

Nope, has nothing to do with value. But I will do more research and when this is done I will unveil the complete biografie from this man.

Any progress in the research of this man?

It sure does look like a Rose variation to me.

Hello every one.

I am new to this forum and this is my firts post here.

I have the opertunity to buy this cased Mechlenburg Grffen Order for around 800 euro and wanted to know if this is a fair price.

They are quite rare and you do not see them come up for sale very often so pricing them is quite hard. My friend Mike who has a big imperial collection thinks that it is a fair price but I wanted to get other opinions.

Regards

Peter

They are indeed rare and I think that's a fair price for this (Rose?) piece.

The 2nd one a Kronenorder?

I too were a competitor. Chris didn't you get the ehrenkreuz?

I just got lucky on a white ribboned set today :-))))))

I hope you get the ehrenkreuz too.

Were a bit unhappy for losing it , so i hope you will get it up on the kaiserscross and give the man behind the cross the attention he has deserved for 90 years.

Well i think, that is a killer piece and the first one, i have ever seen. Well worth the asked price with document, if you ask me...

I tried to snipe it at 51Euro but alas i failed

H, no its a new one on me. no maker mark?

Alex

Not that i can see. It went on eBay for the astounding price of 54Euro, a tad much for me so i didn't get it.

Anyone seen one of these before?

Baden: Order of Z?hringer L?wen, badge in silver, Italy: Order of the Crown, badge in gold, Order of S:t Maurice and S:t Lazarus, badge in gold, France: Order of Academic Palms in silver, Greece: Order of S:t George I, badge silver gilt

Identifiable?

Here is one of my new acquisition, though bought separately. Can anyone desipher the script?
