Schießplatzmeister Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hello Stogieman:My guess would be that this is a case for a Royal Saxon Fire Brigade Service Award Bar.Thanks!"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Correct! There have been two (2) that appeared this year. I snagged mine as a "BIN" off eBay Germany. About a month later, second one, different seller, Both mint boxed, second one went for more than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 But Wait!!! Prior to the appearance of these.... almost 6 years ago and before this year the only one known.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Again, Mint/Cased. The only miniature bar I've ever seen. All 3 cases were identical, all Scharffenberg/Dresden. Yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schießplatzmeister Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Dear Stogieman:What super pieces! I have not seen another cased Saxon Landwehr LS bar either, and the miniature is something that is undoubtedly almost unique.Thanks for showing us these great items!Unfortunately, my technical ability to send scans or photos is still lacking at this time, so I ask that someone else submit another mystery case for our analysis.Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 The cased Military LS Bar originally came from Detlev Niemann about 1999, if memory serves. I have never seen a miniature bar before, or since. What surprised me was when the Fire LS Bar popped up in the same case, it was obviously correct.... perfect match for the case I already had. But was really surprising was the value assigned to the bar itself by J?rg Nimmergut. Apparently, there's not many of these around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I can run with this for awhile, Now be very careful... I want to know exactly what is in this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 BTW, you didn't think it would be easy like these, did you???Heh, heh, heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I can run with this for awhile, Now be very careful... I want to know exactly what is in this one:Exactly? I'd think most likely a merit cross of the Baden Order of the Z?hringer Lion, silver gilt version. Exactly enough? But as far as I know, the cases for the merit crosses are the same as late ones for the knight crosses, and it's the only type I've seen more than once. There are maaaany different around for the knight crosses ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
