Guest Rick Research Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I think somebody was able to cite numbers SOMEWHERE, but I can't find the link on "search." that's the trouble with having to match an EXACT name of something, if it was named in German versus English and the wrong name is searched on.In any case, a very rare bar-- ESPECIALLY as a pair. The 1920s "clutter" adds nothing to the Coburg pair which is :jumping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here are some info you want "Hi, I've just find the information : - Carl Eduard Medal 2nd class without swords awarded 416 times between 1911 and 1920- Decoration for Merit in Homeland awarded 1226 times between 1918-1919.Christophe" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) You may want to see if the "odd" militaria site has similar values. Congratulations on your new bar, whatever the cost. Beautiful. :jumping: Edited December 14, 2008 by Mike Constandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks Christophe-- I just plain could not FIND the old link! Under 200 bucks, eh? Santa came early to YOUR house this year! Isn't it amazing what mind boggling rarity slides under most dealers' Non-Imperial radar? :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
