Carol I Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Is this piece exposed at the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum in Vienna? I think that the uniform is the emperor's one, because of the "Kriegsmedaille 1873" worn with the reverse as the visible side. Best wishes, Enzo Yes, Enzo, it is Franz Joseph's badge in the Museum of Military History in Vienna. Edited February 21, 2015 by Carol I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsb001 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Nice! My humble contribution could be a small sized diamond set badge, either a large miniature or a prinzen size, enjoy! Edited August 6, 2016 by larsb001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 IRemember the t&t fleeces. There was:a gorgeous emerald set jewel i could not see a fault in the emerald under ×8 magnification. There were also some glorious 18th century neck badges with dragon suspensions. The palace was something else. I was there with the wine, book and coach specialists hence a few thick morning heads It was an educational experience i will never forget.

Paul Interestting, do you have pictures of the other fleeces? Another brilliant fleece was sold last year during the Bourbon-Parma auction at Sothebys (for ca. 1.500.000€) It was owned by Louis-Antoine de Bourbon, Duc d’Angoulême and Comte de Marnes (1775-1844) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Alas only a few were included in the sothebys t&t sale. The bruiser illustrated in the earlier post was included in a sothebys geneva jewellery sale. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utgardloki Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I know this isn't a t&t one, it is a Bourbon-Parma one sold last year. I was just wondering if there are pictures of the other fleeces sold at the t&t auction back in 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utgardloki Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Fleece from Louis XV of France (stolen 1792) with the legendary French Blue Diamond, which was most likely (i think it's already proven but I am not shure) the diamond from which the Hope-Diamond was cut out REPLICA: Edited May 23, 2019 by Utgardloki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utgardloki Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 A fleece neck decoration in Prinzengröße that was sold today at the Dorotheum for 137 500€. It belonged to Kaiser Maximilian von Mexiko. After his death it was given back to his adults, who gave it Crown prince Rudolf as to remember his uncle. Then it went to his daughter Erzherzogin Elisabeth and the to her heirs.
