What have you in the drawer that's rare?

[Daniel Cole]

Here' one I had at one time. I think it was fairly rare. I ended up selling it back to the dealer I got it from because I think it was real, but faked. The swords didn't seem correct. They were'nt screwed in.

Perhaps I was wrong.

Red Eagle,

Your excellent presentation of what has to be a star that is as Prussian as you can get shows many of us, who would not have the opportunity otherwise, to see how complex the construction of these pieces can be.

Daniel Cole,

I have long been partial to these (post #202) crosses because I think that they are so under appreciated. This is the first screwback example I?ve ever seen. Super!

Stijn David,

Those lower grade princely crosses are too darned rare!

Thank you all,

Wild Card

Gentlemen,

Not in the drawer; but from the bank - the third (refer to posts #5 and #11) of the Saxon War Crosses. The Saxe-Weimar 1915 -1918 Wilhelm Ernst War Cross.

Best wishes,

Hi stogie-Rick,

what is rare???

The houseorder of Hohenzollern (ca. 9000 awards), the PPlM (700 awards and very expensive ) - or it's the St. Heinrich order....

[Deruelle]

Welcome Werner,

Very nice medal bar A pleasure for my eyes.

Regards

Christophe

[WNickel]

....no, the Mil. St Heinrich isn't rare enough - the Waldeck VK 4. class with 500 awards is rarer....

[WNickel]

..that's nothing against the order of Brabant....congratulations Claudio....

[WNickel]

...in the Thies auction many pieces were described with "66 awards or 17 awards or any more" and one pieces was only described with "rare"....

What do mean means rare in this case......

[medalnet]

Hey, this was supposed to be mine
