pinpon590 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Hi gentlemen ! I need your help, I already possess this very nice medal : Seems to be in silver, 52mm x 32,4mm / 27g. Very hight level of details... I recently purchase a second one : 50,1mm x 31,4mm / 19,3g The engraving is blured, especially when you compare the two medals... Seems to be silvered metal, very lighter, in fact. So what do you think about these two medals ? The second can be a 30's model ? Or a fake ? Thank you for your help ! :cheers: Edited May 17, 2011 by pinpon590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Are those casting bubbles on the crown between the lions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinpon590 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi ! Close up of the area between lions. First medal : Second medal : (The zoom is pityless for the 2nd medal : she looks better than on this picture...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cole Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I had one of these once and will posts pictures when I get home. I'm curious too. I would think it should be silver, I don't think mine was and mine didn't have a cut out crown. If I was a betting man, I'd think the one I had wasn't an issue piece, put a copy of some sort.

Daniel Cole Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 This is the one I had in my Richthofen bar. I have a better one at home of the single medal obverse and reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cole Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Here's the one I had that I used on the medal bar. I always wondered about the line on the reverse at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi JB, To be honest with you, I have a doubt about the second CM2 you show there, not sure it is a wartime medal in silver. Mine is exactly like your first one you show on post #1. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinpon590 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi ! For the second, I have no doubt : the medal is certainly not in silver. The first looks better, but is it a wartime medal, I don't know... Thank you in your interrest ! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian J Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 This is what I would expect from a 1930ies piece. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/32292-carl-eduard-medaille-in-1935/page__p__304312__hl__eduard__fromsearch__1#entry304312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinpon590 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi ! I have seen a jeweller today, and I have show the two medals : - the first is in solid silver, between 950 and 990/1000... - the second, as I tought, is made from silvered metal. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinpon590 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) This is the one I had in my Richthofen bar. I have a better one at home of the single medal obverse and reverse. Do you really possess this bar :banger: What a beauty ! But, is it the good clasp on the oval Carl Eduard medal ? I thought there was only the year of awarding, and a band with the date ? This on the bar looks like a clasp for SEHO medal... :cheers: Edited May 19, 2011 by pinpon590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cole Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I built a replica of von Richthofens medal bar using original medals. I couldn't find the correct clasp for the SCG medal so I used that one. I later disassembled it and returned the medals to their original ribbons and sold them off for a new project I had in the works. Ultimately, finding the medals was the fun part not having the medal bar. I couldn't repete the effort now because of cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Daniel, For my information, did you find a Bavarian military merit order 3rd class with swords or did you find a fourth class ? Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palencia Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I believe that this one has a level of finished similar to the second one: http://www.medal-medaille.com/sold/product_info.php?cPath=276&products_id=6606 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 1812 Overture, Thanks for your comments. I have a few unanswered questions in regards to this medal and clasp. Firstly, I am not sure whether this medal is pre 1935 or not. Is does not have a silver hallmark on the rim, or the maker L.Chr. Lauer at the lower left of the Reverse of the medal. I believe that Paul Meybauer made some but I do not know whether he produced the silver version and I am unsure whether this is a Meybauer produced medal anyway. Any answers to these questions are most welcome. Regards, Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1812 Overture Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Since I joined the forum, I have spent nearly a month to open the pictures in all the articles of the German Empire. I have saved them for reference. Me, "picture thief" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Graham, I might be a bit late to the party, but... when Künker sold another part of the Peter Groch collection in autumn, there where five different examples of this medal offered. Might that be a helpful reference? Even later to another party: Revisiting the whole thread, I'd suggest that Daniel Cole's example, shown May 18, 2011(!), is not and never was a Herzog-Carl-Eduard-Medaille, but rather the Ehrenzeichen für Heimatverdienst, which is an award on its own, with its own ribbon - but with no own design. There are some minor traces of the bronze toning left... the two medal bars shown by 1812 Overture compare these two awards most vividly!
