Hello:

This is a nice Deschler piece with the case and a piece of ribbon for officials. I would estimate the value in the range of US$225-$275. Note that this is a "bayerische Miltär-Verdienstkreuz" (Bavarian Military MERIT Cross) which was an award associated with merit and not service. Bavaria had distinct awards for service which were not related to this item.

A nice piece that looks to be original (forgeries do exist). How much was the seller asking for it?

Best regards,

That's waaay off from average market price - but 'meister' is well known for his 'bargains'. In Europe you have to give approx. 200 EUR for the cross + 80-100 EUR for the case.

While he has some great stuff, he indeed deserves his nick name "expensivemaster".

Meister should check how Klaus Butschek or Carsten Baldes are doing business. Low prices therefore nearly no stock and 80% of new items sold the same day they arrived.

He is old enough to decide what he is doing and no man alive has the right to judge about his business behavior.

These are nice pieces and usually sell in the 200-300.00 range, depending on maker and condition.
