Stuka f Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 hello all, thise groupe was offered to me and I need to make a offer (£$€!). If anyone could help me out here, I would greatly appreciate.Because it isn't realy my collection field. But because it is so comlpete and for who he was I am prepared to make a exception. Thise groupe is very complete and comes in with the miniatures, patent letters and so on... The owner used to be a diplomate during the '80 ties. I have an idea about them all, only the last medal is still a misetery to me, so if that one could also be identifyed; much obliged!
TacHel Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 And these are to a single recipient? And you can prove it with the paperwork? I didn't think you could still find treasures like this! Did you win the lottery? This is worth a small fortune! Put aside the fact they're to the same person, they're all worth hundreds of $$$ each... Add to that the provenance and shear number of awards... DAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
Rogi Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Wow, just wow The last medal looks like one from the French colonies, but do you have a better picture of it? I can't make out the symbol and this style is very similar to other nations.
Stuka f Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Sorry no better pictures, so far. The only pic i can ad is a detail of one of the doc's;
utopis Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) That group will be quite expensive. Additionally you have to count in a fat group bonus if all docs are available. Edited January 12, 2014 by utopis
Stuka f Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 I didn't get it! Last medal is a Côte d'Ivoire order. cheers |<ris
Rogi Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Oh man, that sucks hopefully its going to find a good home, not as awesome as yours my friend but what can you do
Stuka f Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Oh man, that sucks hopefully its going to find a good home, not as awesome as yours my friend but what can you do I don't know who baught it, just hopes the group stays together.... cheers |<ris
Rogi Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) 3500€Wow good price :S heck I would of probably pitched in for that sum lol :D Edited January 16, 2014 by Rogi
922F Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Cheap at that price....any idea of recipient's name or service?
Stuka f Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Yes and yes! ;-) I have his name. Willing to give it to you in private. The guy was from a town called Lier, in Belgium. And he had different functions, mainly as a diplomate. The french order was given to him when he was a honour consul in the south of France(i think it was Nice....). He as been director of the office of the ministery of foreign affairs at the end of his carreer. cheers |<ris
Vatjan Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Unfortunately, the group was not kept together and was sold "in pieces" on ebay Belgium, last week. =o(((( Jan
Vatjan Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 The seller "harvested" about 5000€ on this sale. Best regards, Jan
Rogi Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 The seller "harvested" about 5000€ on this sale. Best regards, Jan Sad to hear I dont understand why people do this, just to lazy to find a collector who wants to keep this group together and would rather ruin history for a couple euros
Stuka f Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 I could only find these and they are not those I made mention of;
Vatjan Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Sad to hear I dont understand why people do this, just to lazy to find a collector who wants to keep this group together and would rather ruin history for a couple euros Even though I share your frustration that this group was split, I do not know of any collector who would have paid 5k for this group. Even more so, since the historic value of this modern group is very limited. The only historic background resides in diplomatic goodwill exchange. Best regards, Jan
Stuka f Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 Any Dutch awards in the grouping? No! ;-) |<
Vatjan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I could only find these and they are not those I made mention of; Check out the closed sales of seller fafnir57 on ebay.be Good evening, Jan
Stuka f Posted February 21, 2014 Author Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks! But it doens't seem to show anymore.... cheers |<ris
Vatjan Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Sorry, my mistake the seller is fafnir_57 (with an underscore in the name) I just checked it still shows. All the best, jan
Stuka f Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Super Jan! Got them now! cheers |<ris
