Hanseatic medalbars

[CHRIS W]

It took me awhile but I finally have a medalbar with each of the Hanseatic crosses. First is the Hamburg. It has the less scene two ring cross.

Hi Chris! Very nice examples of each, including the two harder to find ones!! Nice little set there!

I'm still in the hunt for a nice Bremen on a bar.

Hi Bob,

as always I am your man I will send you pics together with the twm pics

The hanseatic crosses are very beautiful pieces, they bring a bit colour and glamour on the "normal" medal bars, I love them too

I agree! Beautiful bars

This was a magnificent bar... I was at Thies auction and had the pleasure to view it (and touch it) personally! There was no taylor label on the reserve (red backing), but to me it was a beautiful and typical Godet construction and it was even a bit convex to follow the shape of the cheast.

Enjoy... and merry Christmas!!!

Another superb bar with all three Hanseatic crosses!

Claudio,

The first bar I owned. The 12 yr LS doesn't belong, but I'm allergic to fylfots

[Tom Y]

For some reason the Hamburg cross seems to be playing second fiddle

A Hamburg group with 1 bell and 1 whistle.

Finally, no medal, but the enamel's right.

@Heiko: Hutier's medal bar went for Eur 3'800.-, Eur 200.- more than the starting price: not much if you ask me. He was a PLM mit Eichenlaub-Tr?ger nevertheless. I hesitated to bid on it, because I didn't like how the RK St. Heinrich Orden was mounted... it looks like the medal bar was restored. Furthermore beautiful the last order of Hutier's bar: Hessen-Darmstadt Ludewigs-Orden, very rare, but unfortunately with "Emaillesch?den"...

[joe campbell]

claudio-

what did the wedding bar go for?

magnificent pieces!

joe

[HeikoGrusdat]

Thanks Claudio, indeed very cheap for that bar restored or not...

Joe, Wedding went for 4200 Euro...

No one has answered Heiko's question yet..................

How did Wedding end up with the British Order of St. Michael & St. George?

[Claudio]

Hi Mike,

I can't reply to your question, since I do not have the necessary reference books with Wedding's data, but I can show you the Admiral wearing a previous medal bar (see many 20ies veterans' decorations) with already the British Order of St. Michael & St. George.

Ciao,

Claudio
