Claudio Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Last but not least a nice selection of rare Bavarian LS medals and miniatures...
avadski Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Ooohhhh, my eyes.... Thank you for posting these. How long was the chain shown in post #9?
Claudio Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 Well, if you calculate that every miniature is about 16mm, I think it could be 25-30 cm long, if you strech it completely! :speechless1:
avadski Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Thank you. Really amazing collection. If I have the opportunity to pick up one lot from the pictured stuff I'd go with the last post -> Bavarian LS awards. They are really cool, especially the one for 40 years. Never seen single one for sale. Regards, Viliam. Edited October 17, 2010 by avadski
Poulton Palmer Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Hello Claudio, Thank you very much for sharing this!!!! This is really amazing!!! Even in my dreams I haven't seen Miniatures like this!!!! Poulton Palmer
VtwinVince Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 My God, what a collection. Who is this guy?
avadski Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 My God, what a collection. Who is this guy? He's probably started collecting in1920's and got most of the medals for 10 Reich Marks I've just noticed that he got a Bänderkatalog there in fine condition. PDF copy of that would be nice to have.
Claudio Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah... you're right Vince... and it is just the tip of the iceberg of his collection. I know him personally and was invited to his home and he showed me his huge collection (with focus on Bavaria). Incredible! Some of the pieces I saw again at Gunzenhausen, I remember very distinctly, like the King of Bulgaria's ribbon bar and some of the huge miniature chains with Golden orders. There was more there in his war room in the basement than at the Bavarian Army Museum in Ingolstadt! Ciao, Claudio
Claudio Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 He's probably started collecting in1920's and got most of the medals for 10 Reich Marks I've just noticed that he got a Bänderkatalog there in fine condition. PDF copy of that would be nice to have. He begun to collect in the 60ies, now he's mid 60. C
saschaw Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I saw it too. To much for one day to look at, especially if you actually wanted to go to a show, not to an exhibition. This is one guy's stuff? I think I know whose, but thought it were from a hand full of people... :speechless1:
