Claudio Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 I try to post a picture I tried to post before, but it disappeared when I edited a picture in another reply... this space limitation thing drives me crazy!!!!
Claudio Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 My brother and I we also discovered that the very at least two different patterns to be seen under the enamel of these orders, one with strait lines, and the other with broken lines... I don't know if I can explain myself... here the picture which is quite self-explanatory:

Claudio Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) From the same Auctionhouse:Kommandeurskreuz f?r Zivilpersonen, 1815-1918. Gold und Email, 80 x 50 mm, 31,5 g (OEK 2329).

Claudio Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Always from the same Auctionhouse... I am kicking my A$$ for not having tried to bid on at least one of them. These orders are rare, very desirable and their value is steadily increasing.. With the original case... very very nice and rare!Kommandeurskreuz mit Schwertern, 1870-1918, Gold und Email, 33,37g (OEK 2331). Feine Juweliersarbeit, im Falken minimale Emailrestaurierungen. In Originaletui von Th. M?ller, Grossherzogl. S?chs. Hofjuwelier Weimar.Zustand: I-II Limit: 1600 EURO 1800 EURO Edited September 25, 2005 by Claudio
Claudio Posted September 25, 2005 Author Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Again from the same Auctionhouse, the last one, a "mere" RK 1. Kl. in pure Gold!!! It went for the same price as a Kommandeur cross, just to show how emotional and impulsive some collectors during auctions can be... Beautiful example; this one screams at you with all its might and beauty! Very, very impressive IMHO!!!Ritterkreuz 1.Klasse, Gold, emailliert, 19,8 g. Winziger Emailchip auf der R?ckseite, Bandst?ck (OEK 2335).Zustand: II+ Limit: 850 EURO 1900 EURO Edited September 25, 2005 by Claudio

Bob Hunter Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 ...and the silver merit medal to the order.
Stogieman Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 This is (IMO) one of the most wonderful of all the Imperial Orders. I never get tired of seeing these!
saschaw Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Unfortunally, I don't have a medal bar with a Falke, but some days ago I acquired this nice photo (originally framed, approx. 23,5x17,5cm large). It shows an officer of the German Wehrmacht (Heer) who apparenty was reactivated - he has no long service decoration! I cannot recognize what is on his shoulder boards, but I think it's a Hauptmann. He's wearing a cut out "Verwundeten-Abzeichen in mattwei?", an Iron Cross Ist class (I think it may be Meybauer?!) and a really nice medal bar with: - Preu?en, Eisernes Kreuz 1914 II. Klasse;- Preu?en, Hausorden von Hohenzollern, Kreuz der Ritter mit Schwertern;- Sachsen-Weimar, Hausorden vom Wei?en Falken, Ritterkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern;- Hamburg, Hanseatenkreuz;- Dt. Reich, Ehrenkreuz f?r Frontk?mpfer. The photo has no name written on it, but I guess the combination of this awards - without any other(!) is unique. Though Hauptmann Erich Linnarz e.g. wore exactly the same awards, but sooome others more. He wears nothing from Baden so he might be sold or - if possible - exchanged against a similiar nice photo from Baden. Anyone interrested might send me an email, but please no PM, thanks.
Deruelle Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Very nice photo. I have one which is very similar to yours.RegardsChristophe
ccj Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Who's that general in the photo C? I like the WE CrossHere's my White Falcon. I'm a HUGE FAN of Saxen Duchies but nobody likes to share. (hint to Chris D )
Deruelle Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Hi Charles, It's General F?rster.Next week I will have another very interresting ribbon bar to share with you. Another one from with Saxe Ernestine ribbon and some interresting others ribbons. Be patient !!!RegardsChristophe
