medalnet Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Very nice topic. Lots of fun until one reaches the real rare ones. You definetly don't want to miss the next Thies auctions in order to fill the real gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I don't know who made W?rttemburg, but I know Scharffenberg (Dresden) made the Saxon Bars and Hossauer was (one of) the maker(s) of the earlier Prussian Bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Huxley Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Bob, I'm with you on these .... they make a nice display, but some of those rarer ones are so hard to find and the prices just don't bare thinking about.

Mike Huxley Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The Baden Landwehr small bar, unfortunatly in not to good a condition and the reverse, without any means of attachment. I'm not sure if this should have a pin .. or where these sewn on.[attachmentid=14127][attachmentid=14128] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Schena Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi all:The one foray I really made into Imperial German is with these decorations - I love them and it's great to see all these fantastic examples. Here are a few of mine. They are nothing too special, but they are neat nonetheless...Here's my Baden LW and a Prussian bar. The Prussian one is marked H. ZEHN on the reverse...

Eric Schena Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Here's my personal favorite - it's a Prussian Fire Service 25 year in the case of issue that is even named. The bar itself is marked QUELLHORST. The best part is that I paid less for this than I would taking my wife out for a steak dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Schena Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) ... except I have the original document dated 8 March 1902. I'm not sure how rare this document is, but I can't recall seeing another one..I hope you liked these!
