    1. Today, rebuilding with good quality copies is easy.
      But in his day when we didn't have the internet, and there were only a couple of merchants in Spain, we had no choice, and that was the only way to reproduce a marshal's uniform. Before it was impossible to identify the owner of any piece. simply or there was a way to access the information we have today.
      The connection that the internet allows with other collectors has made us change the way we view our collections. Today we value much more the pieces that have not been retouched.
      So when my avatar came home I had to get rid of many things, including the marshal's uniform, clearly indicating that it had been assembled by me (in fact the last time I saw it was at Hermann Historica, who sold it as a theater reproduction) and I kept the uniform of General Max Dennerlain, from which I think everything comes from origin.
      Today one of more passions is the ribbon bars, and of course I prefer a simple bar of soldier without modifying that one of comeback general. over time, like fruit, we all mature.

    2. In the recreation almost everything is original, The uniform itself is original, the eagle of course and is one of the best I have ever had. the general's shoulder pads are authentic and I have doubts about the marshal's canes. The neck patches were sold to me as originals (and I have always had doubts. - I will only believe that they are original if I see the photo in use and are identical to those that appear in the photo). Of the decorations, only the Pour le Merite is a copy of Cejalvo, the rest is original.
      The pin is assembled with original ribbons and I think that only the crowns of the 2 and 5 medal are copies, which I got later. (and I was never sure of the Wiederholungsspange)

    3. Thank you very much to everyone for your help.
      I did not put the complete bar, because it would not help in any way to resolve the authenticity of the Wiederholungsspange, since this bar was assembled more than twenty years ago to complete a uniform that I had then.
      I was young and unconscious, and did not know the awfulness that it was to destroy bars to rebuild another. I wouldn't think of doing it today.
      Anyway, I show the result of my madness and the uniform I had it on for many years.

    4. Does anyone really have an opinion on this Wiederholungsspange?
      I am not afraid of the truth, I prefer to know that it is bad, if it really is a copy, than having it in the dubious drawer.
      After more than 40 years collecting, I have seen many copies among my belongings. and it's always good to know what you really have.
      This piece has been with me for many years and recently I have seen it again for sale as original in a well-known store in America.
      And if I have doubts it is because throughout these years I have also learned that the ugly is not always false.

      Thanks again for your attention

    5. First of all thank all your answers and interest


      The second tape baffles me, because of the two vertical stripes in the center.


      The "Fürstlich Reußisches Ehrenkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Krone und Schwertern" tape does not have those two stripes.


      And I have never seen a "Württemberg Verdienstkreuz" medal with a crown. But it is the only tape I know of with the two vertical stripes in the center.

    6. Weitze puts on sale "Preußen Säkular-Standartenband für die Fahne des Kürassier-Regiments Königin (Pommersches) Nr. 2"

      But it cannot be, since this tape is in another collection.

      So it can only be from one of the following units:

      Kürassier Rgt Graf Wrangel (Ospreussiches) Nr.3

      Kürassier-Regiment von Driesen (Westfälisches) Nr. 4

      Kürassier-Regiment „Herzog Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg“ (Westpreußisches) Nr. 5

      Dragoner-Regiment „Prinz Albrecht von Preußen“ (Litthauisches) Nr. 1

      Haupt-Kadetten Anstalt
