Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Collector's sometime neglect this Order....... here's a little something to spark some interest!
Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 And the case lid. I was always impressed that unlike the RAO, the PCO almost always came in a titled case. (OK, so it's a monogram. That's better than nothing!)
Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 I invite all to post up there neat Prussian Crown Order examples!
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 My grandfather Leo von Klingspor sported one of those breast stars. So this is where it is hiding.
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 See that tiny little scratch on the obverse, you can see the exact scratch on both these photos.
gregM Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 That is a great piece. All I can add to the discussion is this lowly 4th class buttonhole mini.-Brian,Those are great pictures.[attachmentid=24286]
Tom Y Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 At the other end of the scale, a gift from a fellow member, great guy, and first class rabble rouser BTW, anyone got a spare ribbon lying around?
Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Tom, will check the drawer tonight! Nice medal! Greg, nice mini!
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Rick, I guess you finally found something Ralph doesn't have
medalnet Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 ...and of course the reverse, please check out the way the swords are attached:[attachmentid=24319]This mechanisum applies to all other Sword on Ring - Prussian orders as well.
medalnet Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 ...and the matching cross:[attachmentid=24320]
Tom Y Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Medalnet, the disc on the back of your Star appears to be knurled. Does it unscrew?
joe campbell Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 nice to see ALL of these examples!!andreas- just amazing! i should live so long...joe
medalnet Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Medalnet, the disc on the back of your Star appears to be knurled. Does it unscrew?those Wagner type stars of all grades always do.
Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Andreas is quite correct. The Wagner Stars can be completely dis-assembled quite easily. I once found a woman's photograph inside a 2.kl. Star!
Ramblinfarms Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 And I was thinking that this was where you hid your fishhooks and line, compass and fire starter kit.
VtwinVince Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I'm still looking for a third class, ohne Schwerter, for my great-grandfather's spange. Any help of course appreciated.
medalnet Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 ...after those killer swords on ring pieces I thought it might be a good idea to show this nice group as well. It is quite nice to have the miniature bow as well.[attachmentid=24351]
Les Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I'm still looking for a third class, ohne Schwerter, for my great-grandfather's spange. Any help of course appreciated.Vince, check your PMs. Information and URL links sent.Les
joe campbell Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Vtwin-kronenorden dritte klasse ohne schwerter....and a few other baubles.KO with W maker mark on lower arm.sorry i had to decapitate the picture to get it to fit....joe
landsknechte Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 If I were a hardcore medal collector, instead of just a ribbon bar junkie, I'd have a heck of an inferiority complex right about now.
