    Prussia, breast star of the Black Eagle Order on eBay.de


    Recommended Posts

    A current auction on eBay.de:

    http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230473946464

    I think it might be of interest I bought this star some months ago. I showed it to some collectors and most were not confident with this star. While the star itself seems to be fine and ~1840 era, the medaillon is quite sloppy made and is of very unusual design. There were serios doubts this can be an authentic SAO star, so I returned it recently. A real Raupp made SAO star is published in Nimmergut's opus magnum II. It has a more typical design and is of very finde craftmanship - while this here is definitely not.

    Caveat bidder...

    :whistle:

    Thanks for the heads up on this saschaw, you may have just saved a fellow member from making a costly error. For a change I was not watching this one. :D
