Hello, I believe that the upper photo is of Generalmajor Otto von Lossow. The lower photo however is of a different Officer: Oberstleutnant Walter von Lossow (1872-1943). The large medal bar of Walter von Lossow appeared on the market in the recent past: https://mkoegl.de/archiv/3815/9er-ordensschnalle-des-oberstleutnants-walter-von-lossow Best regards,

Hello All, The Sachsen Albert Order Grand Cross Star by "Elimeyer" listed above is most-likely a modern forgery that has been attributed to the now deceased Mr. Blass. These forgeries have been around for a while now. Genuine pieces are seldom encountered. The Andreas Thies auction house sold a genuine example many years ago. If I remember correctly, that genuine piece came from the George Seymour collection. Best regards,

Hello, All items such as the Albert Order Knight's Cross 1st Class with Crown shown listed above that are being sold on Ebay.de by the seller from Belgium are forgeries. The details look quite convincing, but they are all modern forgeries. There are other Ebay.de sellers with various user names selling the same pieces. Beware! Best regards,

Hello, As Vince stated, these have been counterfeited often over the years. The piece that you are showing looks to be such a counterfeit from what I can see. In my opinion, it would be best to stay away from this piece. An original piece as part of a group and/or with documents is the way to go with this type of item. It may take a while to find one though! Best regards,

Hello, Here is a Google translation of the message from "hans" in English: "Hi I am looking for photos of the owner of my WW1 medal bar The medals included in the barbell are: - Iron Cross ek2 ww1 -Hindenburg Cross 1914-1918 -Hungarian Medal "PRO DEO ET PATRIA 1914-1918 - Bulgarian Medal 1915-1918 (I can't insert pictures of the medal bar because something is blocking me) Thank you in advance" Hans, Unfortunately, the medals listed are very common, so there is no way to determine who the owner of the medal bar was, unless the medals are acquired with the issuing documents, named photos of the recipient, Military Pass, etc. Best regards,

Hello All, I will check my listing of HHO RK mit Schwertern recipients (1914-1918) to see if a Leutnant Behrens is listed. I like his 238. Infanterie-Division Bravery Medal. These pieces are very much under-appreciated. I wonder what the markings are (if any) on the HHO RK mit Schwertern? Best regards,

Hello Fal v. K, This piece is also most likely magnetic (struck in steel). MfG,

Hello, Congratulations regarding this fantastic miniature grouping. The chain and the gold orders appear to be made of 750 gold. I concur with Wild Card (who is an expert regarding these matters) that the 7th award from the left is probably from the Emirate of Bukhara. The Bukhari-yi Sharif Medal for Military Service is very similar in shape and style: Goldberg Auctions Sometimes seldom encountered awards were made by jewelers from pattern books and a bit of "artistic license" was utilized. Therefore, we may never be 100% certain what this award miniature was made to represent. Best regards,

Hello Nicolas, Thank you for sharing this very nice field ribbon bar. To me, it looks like the second ribbon is possibly for the Bavarian Bravery Medal. If so, he was probably an NCO during the First World War. But some NCO's received temporary field grade promotions to Leutnant as the Bavarian Army needed Officers toward the end of the war. There is no way to be certain however. Congratulations on owning this item. Best regards,
