    Hello Gents,

    It seems i have a long way to go on the slippery slope!

    Man! there are some beauties here!

    Thanks for showing your gems gents! and i mean each and everyone of them... :)

    Heres my meagre contribution....

    The Brunswick set came with the medalbar and two bows.

    Regards

    Paul

    Hi Mike, nice mini-bar! very nice indeed. These miniature medal bars are not easy to find.

    Hi, Stogie

    Thanks! I've only got a few things but what really made me want this mini-bar was that I own each of the full-sized medals too! Unfortunately, they're not on a single bar together like the mini-bar. I have a two-place bar with the EK2 and Honor Cross w/swords and I own a MVK w/crown & swords. :beer:

    Gentlemen,

    Stogieman's above observation is worth special note in that it indirectly points up one of the important, but seldom recognized, aspects of collecting minis. They give us an opportunity to have a connection to the rare and obscure. I hope to do a thread regarding this sometime in the future. Meanwhile, I would like to present an example of another aspect - incredible workmanship.

    Regards,

    Whoops! Take a HARD look at Mike Huxley's post #65 & #66!!!

    That's the ?ltere Linie, Reuss silver medal f?r Treue und Verdienst 1867-1918! That's a first!

    WoW ...thanks Rick, I've been trying to track this one down since I bought it. I didn't look that close when I first saw it for sale, just knew it was a Reuss award.

    Hi CRBeery,

    You are so right. I have seen a lot of minis over the years; but your mounted WB is a first for me. These mounted mini groups are so rare and beautiful.

    The WB?s do show up on the chains from time to time (see attached); but when it comes to mini WB?s, in my opinion, you have the pick of the litter.

    Congratulations!

    Bob - Saxon is 4-3/4" X 1-1/4". Prussian is 2-1/4" X 1-1/4". They seem to have been made on ribbon bar bars. I love the little St. Henry on the Saxon piece.

    Wild Card - nice little chain. The observer is a real nice touch. I think this is the same type WB as yours just in a different mounting style. Mine is just a stamped piece of metal and not solid backed.

    Thanks,

    Chet
