    1. Please pardon my French!!

      What a steaming pile of horse ^#$^%!!!

      He's been trying to sell those orders for years and we know that the serial numbers of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th awards all fall OUTSIDE of the awarded range....

      The seller is getting creative!!

      ps. sorry, done ranting!

      :cheeky:

      I made him an offer, but unfortunately it was an offer that he COULD refuse... I admit, I ehmm lowballed just for the fun of it :cheers:

    2. Update - guesstimate from Rick Research on the missing ribbon is "Swedish Vasa or maybe a Persian Lion and Sun". Not being familiar with Italian history, would any of those two options historically make sense?

      First row: Commendatore dell'Ordine dei Santi Maurizio e Lazzaro / Grande Ufficiale dell'Ordine della Corona d'Italia / Commendatore dell'Ordine Coloniale della Stella d'Italia

      Second row: Commander in the Order of Scanderbeg / Sovrano Militare Ordine di Malta, Ordine di S. Giovanni di Gerusalemme, di Rodi e di Malta / 'Order of the German Eagle' (Nazi award) / x

      Third row: Bulgarian Order of Civil Merit? / 'Vatican Order of St Sylvester' / Ordine Equestre del Santo Sepolcro di Gerusalemme / Romanian Order of the Crown (knight?)

      IS this what I think this is??????

      I'm getting very very excited!!!

      Have you sent them an email?

      WHo, what ,where, ....how!!!

      Nope. Sitting back and waiting. :cheers:

      I am curious of course... i recall buying some (undocumented) high end stuff a few years ago where the seller insisted on selling it as one set... always had the thought that he was trying to keep something together which should stay together... hope to find out someday, until then... keeping them carefully together:)

    4. Then, the big overview... this guy has more "mandat"/deputy booklets than I can handle! 52 documents in total, all to one and the same person.

      Above picture somewhat chronologically (top row left to right, next row left to right, etc.) depicts all of the documentation to this person. I'm sorting through the documents and a better way to look at them is probably more "thematcally grouped":

      - party membership documents (the "mandat" ones i think)

      - deputy documents (national parliament?)

      - other (regional) representative documents

      Anyway, that's for later this week!:)
