Hauptmann Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 I've finally managed to get into Imperial bars. I have one coming the beginning of next month. It's a two place bar... WW1 EK2 and Prussian Order of the Crown 4th Class without swords. Will try to post pics in a bit... am asking for permission from the current owner. Just managed to add to the set... a lovely little buttonhole minature of the Crown Order. I think I did quite well on this one. Would love to hear comments/opinions, etc. I'm hoping to be able to do a nice cased display of the bar, the buttonhole ribbon, plus if I can (hopefully) locate either a miniature ribbon for my WW1 EK2 mini or a similar buttonhole with mini for it as well as a ribbon bar to match the medal bar. Much as I love enamel I think I actually prefer the 4th Class of this Order as it's got just the right amount of enamel plus the gold on the rest of it... just a lovely piece. Will add pics of the medal bar soon as I can. Dan
VtwinVince Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 You did very well on the mini, Dan. The ones from this maker are much scarcer than the Godet ones.
Hauptmann Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 You did very well on the mini, Dan. The ones from this maker are much scarcer than the Godet ones. Many thanks! I really think it will make an awesome set once I get the rest of the pieces I want to display together. Dan
Hauptmann Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Here's the big bar... pics and the bar from "a very good friend".

Wild Card Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 :love: A very nice mini indeed, Like EK’s and a couple of other decorations in particular the quality of the minis can vary greatly in detail and quality and this is one of the best. Congratulations!
