    You're right Rick, but as we know, the Germans played it fast and loose with precedence. This bar has been much discussed over the years, and I believe originally came from the Seymour collection. Here is a cool one, PKO2 with the 60 year jubilee device, awarded about 24 times if I remember correctly.

    Nice Crown Order with the case and nice to see a “button”. Only had a couple over the years, both fourth class awards. A Red Eagle and a Crown Order. Very nice indeed!! Who else has enamel to share??

    You're right Dave, and it's a silver version for sure on the bar, with no evidence of removal. Eckstein was also a recipient of the Wuerttemberg Military Merit Order. Here is a high quality Spangenstueck produced by Godet with very nice enamel.

    As I don´t want to post Lippe-Detmold all the time, I will show another enameled beauty,
    which I sold some time ago.
    This piece came directly from the family and the owner was the only one allowed to wear
    this Waldeck-cross at the combatant (!!!) - ribbon....
