JapanX Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 Miniaturbarette des Generalmajors Fürst Wenzel Liechtenstein Amazing piece!
larsb001 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Indeed a very interesting variation, the normal seen miniatures would look like ...... normal miniatures: Edited August 23, 2014 by larsb001
larsb001 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Something newer and more common, just a delicate German miniature group with a Medal for Zeal on a Saint Anne ribbon ......
larsb001 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I was just browsing through some notes and found these pages from an old Sothebys catalogue, must be more than 20 years ago. Those were the days where excellent miniatures would appear in quantities What should be noted here is the miniature Elephant on the chain in the second pic, if anyone would see a vague similarity with my avatar this is correct. The chain was bought by an American dentist who wanted the Russian miniatures only, so he erased a piece of history and the Elephant came my way through some collector friends. Sometimes it's OK to split groups The Russian ones appeared in a later Spink auction on a chain mixed up with some other added miniatures, but this is another story!
