Definitely not original. Looks like something am-militaria would like

Hi guys and girls,

another fake Imperial medal bar on German ebay:

... am-militaria

[redeagleorder]

He has just put some up. Although to be honest some (like the one with the Saxon Albert Order and the Koch Group) are not his style and look much better than usual.

Hello,

here another doubtful item. Max-Joseph looks like Pinoccio

You mean someone is telling lies??? :-)

[spolei]

Someone tells a lot of the story of the decoration. That makes the decoration not better.

Look at the crown of the lions head. The original has a square form not a round form.

Here are the pics for discussion...

A lot of his stuff looks doubtful. I myself would like to buy the Olga Medal from him, but I'm pretty sure its not 1889-1916 vintage...

I find it interesting to have a blacklist (suspected bad sellers and dealers that sell fakes on ebay).

Here I have jotted down some "names" ..

My thought on this Ribbon Bar, but it seems that one sewed Ribbon (Erinnerungskreuz des Marinekorps Flandern) on the Cross of Honor, to raise its value? This clips are real .. I do not think. Impossible is a unique soldier in many battles!

comments?

Hi,

I have a document to a soldier who only served a year, he had about as many battle bars.... he applied and recieved bars for just about every sector he took a train through!!

[dond]

Are you sure it is not the Kyffhauserbund medal ribbon? Hard to tell from the pics.

[lambert]

I see that the last Ribbon was "implanted" in the group, she does not look combines with the the bar. Not a Erinnerungskreuz des Marinekorps Flandern but one Kyffhauserbund Ribbon.

There's a way to find out, is to know when the battle happened and compare dates .

These clasps were private purchase, you could buy as many as you wanted (and could afford).

[dond]

I think this is a good Weimar "Hey look at me" bar.

[Beau Newman]

I've noticed this guy a several times. Junk medals on incorrect ribbons.

Yes. But, it didn't actually sell. Check the winning bidder. If it says " Angebot mit nicht öffentlicher Bieter-/Käuferliste", it's a dead give away that it was bought back. You see this all the time on auctions from "the club" and their proxies. These are just sham auctions. You will see this group again, I'm sure.

There's a new German medal bar with a Finnish 1918 medal... http://www.ebay.de/itm/096-Deutschland-Ordensspange-Schnalle-1914-1939-/331992190035
