Nice picture. I have seen only a couple that show the 1914 spange being worn. I think Brian S. has a picture of a family member wearing his.

Amazing find . I would be happy to find just one helmet like that.

Both are nice originals. The 1st class is the nicest looking one I've seen in a while.

Thank you all for the help. You helped to settle an disagreement between use on exactly what that ribbon was or more importantly --was not. (I won ) Thanks again, Greg

Thanks Chris.

Thank you.

Thanks, Christophe.

I am posting this for a friend. Can someone tell me what the 2nd ribbon from the left is. My guess is a faded Wurtemburg merit medal. However the owner of this bar swears it is a white/black ribbon. Any thoughts? Thanks, Greg

That is a great chain. Nicely detailed Ek and Oaks.

Plus---any 1870 that has a "Wagner" mark needs to be studied carefully. Over the years we have seen the Wagner stamp on all sorts of fakes.

I would really like to see better pictures but that core design is not one that I recognize as a known original.

Very nice Sascha.

The backside---

A new one for me. Silver plate Ek and the button device is 800 silver stamped. The silver has taken on a nice patina.

Nice find. It's good to see this stuff is still out there.

The Big eyed bird--

I really like the Ek2/spange combos. I think they make for a very impressive looking set up. I have a couple of my own and one is a Ziemer and Sohn like the posted above.

I'm not a TR collector but i like the 1939 Spangen. My only problem is, they all look alike to me. I have to get them authenticated by someone smarter than myself. KDVR -- Nice spange !

I am not 100% sure of the time frame but Yes I do believe that they are post 1918.

Chris, That's an incredible document. Definitely a keeper !!

Here is a neat little Buttonhole mini. 3 piece EK with a iron core and silver frames.

as Claudius said---WOW. Great minis guys, Please keep them coming.

While these are not strickly Imperial minis, They are still pretty cool little items and make a good addition to any EK collection. The back----

I love these--. There are neat but they are not actually German minis. These were made by Lowell Toy corp of New York and were given as prizes in cereal boxes way back when, There was a set of them you could collect which included the Victoria Cross and Silver Star among others. Here is one of mine still on it's card and in original plastic wrapper. There is a coupon inside that states that is you redeem 4 coupons and $1.00 You will receive a "Beautiful gold stamped album" to display them.

Thanks Danny.
