    1. La mayoría de las estrellas están en una posición que apenas les permite verse con claridad.

      Solo los que están en la bandeja al lado del póster pueden verse en detalle

      Hay que reconocer que la posición e iluminación de muchas piezas de este museo es desastrosa.

      Luego mostraré otras estrellas, que puedes fotografiar con más detalle.

      N. 33: Band und Stern des Großkreuz des Estensischen Adler-Ordens (Herzogtum Modena)

      Most stars are in a position that barely allows them to be seen clearly.

      Only those on the tray next to the poster can be seen in detail

      It must be recognized that the position and lighting of many pieces of this museum is disastrous

      Then I will show other stars, which you can photograph in more detail.

    3. Greetings dear collectors.
      I want to show you a pin that I just received,
      the seller attributes it to the Kapitänleutnant Wolf Hans Hertwig.
      "Persönliche Bandspange des Kommandaten von U91, Kapitän zur See Wolf Hans Hertwig. Aus der Sammlung Rick Lundström", as described in the auction of BENE MERENTI AUKTIONEN

      1.) Prussia: Iron Cross, 1914, 2. class;
      2.) Oldenburg: Friedrich-August Cross, 2. class;
      3.) Sax-Weimar Eisenach: Order of the White Falcon, knights cross 2. class;
      4.) Sax-Meiningen: Honor Decoration for Merits in War;
      5./6.) Unknown;

      The biography of Wolf Hans Hertwig accompanies the pin. where he collects the decorations: (see detail in photo)

      Can anyone confirm that this pin belonged to the Kapitänleutnant Wolf Hans Hertwig
      Why does the pin have the order of the White Falcon, knights cross 2. class; that does not appear in the biography.

      I appreciate any information.

    4. Thanks again for your attention. In part, I also agree with FAR 32 that an identified piece has much more value than one that is not.

      But I personally (and this is only a personal preference) do not value the history of a piece, if I cannot verify it 100%.

      Throughout my life as a collector, I have seen many pieces customized by collectors and sellers with the sole purpose of increasing their value.

      In this case, the only thing that mattered to me was the crown of the order of the red eagle. And this ribbon bar seemed original.

      It is true as Mike says, that sometimes we pay too much ahead of time, but it is also true that in my collector's life what I have regretted most is not buying what I wanted and that my possibilities allow me to buy it, and that finally Do not buy.

      As for Weitze, he is one of my reference sellers, and in his shop I have bought very good pieces but I have also seen copies and manipulations with or without intention. And in my last experiences with Weitze I am not very satisfied. As you can see in the following link. And I have many doubts in another piece that I have not yet dared to put it into consideration. and that I will present it in a new section.
