Mark M Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Has anyone else seen these bars listed at Huesken's? Both come with the original award documents and are named to the same Lt. Dr. Sayffaerth. These raise a couple of questions. Looking at the the bars would they be worn together? And, if they do both belong to the same individual why would you break up the sets?

Ulsterman Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Would not the top one -well, go on top? Two rows of medals? I thought that was verboten, but maybe on civvy evening dress?Or a memorial pillow bar perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Wonderfull bar!!!I see also a marianer kreuz!!Many countries allow their soldiers to wear 2 rows or more, just to say wear all your official medals, whether you need 1 or 10 rows, just wear them Kind regards,Jacky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Has anyone else seen these bars listed at Huesken's? Both come with the original award documents and are named to the same Lt. Dr. Sayffaerth. These raise a couple of questions. Looking at the the bars would they be worn together?They are Frackspangen. They would be worn on a civilian suit, one overlapping the other.And, if they do both belong to the same individual why would you break up the sets?Because Huesken makes more money that way. At least give them a slight bit of credit for not selling all the certificates completely separate from the accompanying medals, but not too much. Sayffaerth's EK1 and Black Wound Badge are also being sold separately, as well as a Portuguese Red Cross Decoration and certificate, SA-Sportabzeichen Urkunde and some other items. Search "Sayffaerth" at Huesken's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Frack bar would be mounted in the opposite order.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Did someone yet notice that the same man's 30 place "Miniaturkettchen", his German Cross in Silver and as well some of the awards in real size have been sold by Thies half a year ago? If not, please have a look at #238 and #239 in auction 30 ... @ Heiko: You've bought these as well, I hope? I'd bet you did ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBoy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Apart from that dealer breaking up groups The greatest sin next to murder!!They also have prices that are simply unbelievable! I don't know about the Imperial German stuff that much, but the stuff they're selling from other countries are typically AT LEAST 30-50% more than from many other dealers. To their credit though, they sell some very nice stuff! Edited November 23, 2006 by DutchBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well, I don't think that this is necessarily their fault,if I'm correct, this is an aution?? Then it's just what one wants to give for the pieces....But yes, It's really a sin that they're splitting groups etc.But it's just mainly greed, often it's easier to have two collectors bidding against each other for an item which belongs to their niche than getting 2 collectors trying to outbid each other on the whole lot as the price of the lot is higher to overcome for a collector.It's just a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
