I'm torn...........

[Stogieman]

Many of you may remember my true Imperial love was always the St. Henry Order.

A dear old friend has offered me some Saxon bars that were once in my collection, anonymous bars, but St. Henry nonetheless...... I had a settled on a St. Henry bar when this image showed up in my in box.

I could not remember who I sold this too, but it has the possibility of coming back home to me.

 

So what would you choose?

St. Henry, or this little beauty?

Or this one? I am torn

[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello Rick.

If you can at all: BOTH !!

But should you go with the first one, I would be willing and able to acquire the St. Henry et al.

St. Henry

[HeikoGrusdat]

St.Henry for sure

[Paul C]

St. Henry

[Brian Wolfe]

Once in a while a couple items come along that both just need to be secured for your collection.  This may well be one of those times.  If not then it sounds like the St. Henry is the wisest choice.

Personally, I like the "Saxon trio" as well. 

But that also depends on whether you already have a Saxon trio w/EK2 in your collection.  Major point; the HEM w/1914 clasp that is MOUNTED must be somewhat rare. 

[Mike Huxley]

Ahhh Rick, go on be a devil and have both. You know I'll come to a deal with you on shipping etc 

[Mike Huxley]

By the way guys, I have a few more bars for sale and an Observers badge. If anybody's interested drop me a PM here

[dond]

Both are nice.

[Deruelle]

Hi Rick,

for me  you should buy only the anonymous bar and let me buy the saxon bar :-)

Hello Rick:

EXTREMELY rare indeed!  But the St. Heinrich is SO BEAUTIFUL!  Not an easy choice.  Not many collectors care about rarity.  The St. Heinrich will always be in demand.  So you really can't let it (the St. Heinrich) go if you have to choose one.

Best regards,

[Chris Boonzaier]

Word to yur mother homes!

[Dave Danner]

The Saxon Trio is nice, but it is not nearly as rare as the other.  Assuming Cristophe hasn't already cornered the market, you could relatively easily come across another bar with the trio at some point, but not likely the other.

That said, my own preference is combatant decorations to front-line soldiers and junior officers, so I would personally prefer the trio.  I suppose it really comes down to what sort of decorations you prefer in your collection.

[redeagleorder]

I'd definitely go for the first one - but I collect to medics and non-combatants - so I'm heavily biased.

St. H e i n r i c h  - St. H e i n r i c h  - St. H e i n r i c h ... .. St. H e i n r i c h rules

[Stogieman]

You Know, I love you all and St. Henry is where my heart is, but I'm going to have to pass on both for now due to circumstances beyond my control

[ixhs]

I don`t understand the meaning of a part of your posting but i think it means that you will buy both.

If yes - you are a typical collector.

But i would have done the same.... and don`t tell it your wife.

[ixhs]
