scottplen Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Thinking of working on a trade on this one ? Has some wear ! and not sure of it ? Edited October 18, 2016 by scottplen
Paul C Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 The combination makes sense for someone called back prior to 1938.
Dave Danner Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 The precedence is wrong. The KVK2X as a national award outranks the Prussian House Order of Hohenzollern. The Sudeten Medal should be last.

It's like someone played three-card monte with the medals and this is where they ended up Edited October 20, 2016 by Claudius
Streptile Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Without good photos, it's not really possible to assess the ribbons, construction, or even really the awards.

The only round piece in the middle and three pointy thing on each side. Looks beautiful. +80 points to street credit. Edited October 20, 2016 by Egorka

scottplen Posted October 21, 2016 Author Posted October 21, 2016 Here's another potential trade ! a bit cleaner looking bar ! seem good to me ?
Streptile Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Do you have total confidence in your trade partner? Just checking because that bar is currently for sale on a dealer's site. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's a good bar.
Dave Danner Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) The combination seems fine. Frackspange for a reserve/Landwehr officer who was active in 1897 to get the Centenary Medal. Is it ID'd on the dealer website in question? I only have a partial list of officer recipients of the Lippe Kriegsverdienstkreuz, and the only close match I have died in 1930, so he wouldn't have the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer.

ixhs Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I know where all those bars a coming from - a big dealer in Northern America. In my opinion they have some good stuff but also a lot of very damn thrash also in the imperial session. A lot of pieces were bought in Germany in different auctions or at some dealers.
