Small Collection of 1870 groups

[Komtur]

These fakes were raised by a German collector on a German Forum. I thougt I had some comparison pictures but cannot find these at the moment. If some else please might help?! Sorry again, but it isn't my fault - if I'm right at all ...

Can?t help with pics of the above mentioned copies, but as some experienced collectors told me, this is an original of the time:

the front (later newly varnished)

the back (with the original matt surface)

the whole bar

Hey Komtur, eine richtig tolle Spange.

Hey Komtur, eine richtig tolle Spange.

And a pure Prussian bar of a poor Prussian (or as they told to be only thrifty)

Gentlemen,

Following are two bars which I have posted before; but since they pertain to the subject of this thread, I thought that I would post them again for the benefit of our newer members who may have missed their original posting.

Also, I have made arrangements for a couple of others who do not stay at home to stop by over the next few days to have their pictures taken.

Best wishes,

Wild Card

And from Baden.

Gentlemen;

Lesson learned - when you promise to post pictures of something, make sure that the people with whom it lives are not away on an extended holiday.

So, here we finally have a couple of examples for this thread. First is a pair which features a not often seen 1870 Carl Alexander silver merit medal from Saxe-Weimar.

Reverse.

Next is a non-combat pair of the era.

[Wild Card]

Reverse. Yes, although these two decorations are full size, they are mounted on a button hole device.

Here is my meager contribution. I really love these 19th century bars!

Non combatant 1866/70 campaign duo.

To avoid needless cross-posting, let me just cross-reference my only 1870 group (though one I like):
