Prussia How and Why?

[lambert]

Gents.

I usually do not ask these things about prices medals. I saw a group of medals possibly a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War and World War Primera in a kind of old window ... I have not seen rare medals for the price was so high,( $2.235 Euro) .

Is there anything that I have not seen or know this group? any comments?

It's the Bravery Medal with DEM TAPFERN on reverse very nice group. must have been close to 90 when he received the Hindenburg Cross

Not a totally stupid asking price.

he got the 70KDM for combatants not the hindy.

The bar is a typical early made bar.

The MKF medal is very rare...

[lambert]

wow! I saw this silver treasure!..

I did a quick search and this medal is estimated between 1200-2400 euros, not bad.

I guess I should correct, I believe that is not a veteran of WWI, only the Franco-Prussian War, then probably one EK 1870 is missing. Will be a very interesting group when restored .. :love:

Thanks

Great group, and the Baden collectors are very 'hart am Ball' in Germany.

To confirm, Sgt. Leonhard Nürnberger did receive the 1870 EK2 along with his Karl Friedrich MVM. Since there's a Centenary Medal, the bar dates after 1897, so the 25-year oakleaves are also missing, if they were ever mounted.

The Kriegsteilnehmer-Ehrenkreuz and the Bavarian ribbons probably don't belong with the medal bar, though they could have belonged to a relative.

may be the bar now belongs to mr. volle.

70 MKF medals are definitely rare.
