Red Eagle Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 But this piece is a 1952 version.Here is an older item:You see the different?
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 EUR17000 for a 1952 version !!!!!!
Daniel Cole Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 (edited) Chris I think they are 2 different pieces.The difference in the two is the ring with "Pour le Merite" is rotated 180 degrees.Dan Edited September 29, 2006 by Daniel Cole
VtwinVince Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Wow, that is pricey. My uncle was awarded one of these as a professor at the U of Heidelberg about ten years ago.
medalnet Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 The original tooling was actually made by Hossauer, who was eventually taken over by Wagner. This means that the tooling and hence the pieces are pretty much identical. Differences are only the marking by either Hossauer on the reverse or site, yes site, of the pieces and the way the eagle in the middle of the piece was finished.Wilm was the official manufacuturer after WWII. Yes, they are expensive but extremly rare. The modern pieces are property of Germany.This link will take you to some more pictures: PlM for Arts and ScienceScroll all the way down for the Arts and Science version.
