Show your minis

[Wild Card]

Gentlemen,

A couple more old timers stopped by over the weekend to get their pictures taken. First is a little guy from W?rttemberg...

[Wild Card]

and here is his little friend from Hessen-Kassel.

[Eric K.]

Beautiful mini's, I love them all. I'll post mine sometime tonight.

I brought this little fellow home to have his picture taken for a thread on another forum; but I thought that he should make an appearance here as well.

Hi Wild Card, nice miniature. I had looked for such one for some time and finally got one a year ago. But what bothers me a little is the confused dog running around in the absence of the proud stallion. Think yours is a little more true to the f/s one

This just arrived from Hamburg yesterday.

Not as impressive as some others here, but I like it.

I picked this up with a lot of mostly crap, and it was a couple years before I realized it was a Johanniter

Greetings larsb001,

I must confess that I burst out laughing (startled my wife), when I read your ?...confused dog running around...? comment. Actually, it is a pretty little piece on a truly fine bar.

However, you have brought up a point which, although stated before, merits repeating. When it comes to miniatures, the quality of workmanship covers a wide spectrum - one needs to look no further than the mini EK?s. To illustrate my point, below is a cross from the Oldenburg Duke Peter Friedrich House and Merit Order, which, if I may, I would say looks pretty nice.

[Wild Card]

Now take a look at the reverse. I think that this speaks for itself. Keep in mind that this is the reverse - who is ever going to see it? Why did the artist, not jeweler but artist, do this? Because he could!! Yes Gentlemen, this cross measures 16.2 mm across.

Best wishes,

Wild Card

Gentlemen,

.. this thread have been inactive for some time and it shouldn't. So let me show you a recent addition:

Grossherzogtum Baden, Hausorden der Treue.

Please abstract from the flash from the scanner and enjoy!

Regards, Lars

[larsb001]

... I could also show a little Red Cross miniature from the Weimar period that I like alot,

Ehrenzeichen f?r Verdienste um den Vaterl?ndischen Frauen-Verein 1866-1926.

Enjoy!
