Dear Iver, i have sad news.this is what i have been told.

It is a copy. Experts recognise this instantly by quality of craftmanship (metall works, enamel) and thickness.

they told me that this copies come from a seller located in Wr.Neustadt(Austria)

exactly this type of copy is shown at the forgeries section oft the Austrian Phaleristic society (Österr. Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde).

If neccesary i can provide you with link and password.

sorry

Josef: Thanks for informations, i have sent U an PM... I hope i will get my money back...

[Iver]

..so the "kleindekoration" is already on the way to seller, he will give me my money back. He wrote me, he bought it in an auction of fy. Zeige in Hamburg, so he will return it to them. Once more Josef thanks for informations.. I was not sure about it (when I compared it with an original piece), therefor I wanted your (and Elmars) opinion on it...

That is good news. So i have no stress with the Austrian Phalersistic Society) I just mailed with the ÖGO and they told me that the don't give the password for the fake-site to non-members (unfortunately i'am no member aswell - but i will think it over).

BTW a seller from austria? (ebaynick: flie.......y)

Same to me. It is 150 Euros one-time-contribution and 60 euros annual fee. I think i will join them this year. There are so many members that i know.

gratulations you were able to cancel the kleindekoration-acquisition. :cheers
