Roman Slivin Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Hello to all! Any opinions for me will be very important! Regards, Roman Edited October 29, 2011 by Roman Slivin
AOK4 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 The last medal is a Belgian Crown Order. One would need to have it in his hands to see whether it's an old one or not.
M Hunter Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Dear Roman, I believe this one was on eBay a short time ago. I do not like the "rope" that is used to sew down all of the medals. We would assume the Belgium Order was awarded pre-WW1? Can the Baden Zahringer Lion Merit Cross be awarded on that Baden ribbon? I honestly don't know but this is the correct ribbon. Best wishes Matt
Sergio Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 ... Can the Baden Zahringer Lion Merit Cross be awarded on that Baden ribbon? I honestly don't know but this is the correct ribbon. Best wishes Matt 556 of the Merit Crosses of the Order of the Zahringer Lion were given out on the Karl-Friedrich ribbon.

saschaw Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Actually about 600 awards of this cross on this ribbon between 1915 and 1918. I saw this medal bar as well. I do not find this is a reasonable combination, and when the bar apprared for the first time, some years ago on eBay, it was offered by a seller who's a bar faker in my opinion. I do not like the bar and would not buy it. If I did, I had probably won the auction... sorry! Edited October 29, 2011 by saschaw
Roman Slivin Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Thanks to all of opinion! How do you like medalbar number 2? Edited October 29, 2011 by Roman Slivin
VtwinVince Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 I agree with Sascha on the first bar. I had a good, long look at it, because I like weird combinations with foreign awards. Something about this one just didn't look right to me.
saschaw Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 The 2nd bar looks way better, I'd say that's a good one. The small golden merit medal on Karl Friedrich ribbon is very rare. is it a real gold or a gilt one?
Roman Slivin Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 Thank you Sasсha! Medal with gild.
saschaw Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 402 wearers listed at Roth, Volle gives 395 and Klietmann 502 awards. Be it even a hand full more - these are rare.
