    The precedence is wrong.  The KVK2X as a national award outranks the Prussian House Order of Hohenzollern.  The Sudeten Medal should be last.

    agreed.  A couple of the medals are out of order.  It's like someone played three-card monte with the medals and this is where they ended up  :lol:

    No, it's mot by accident. The awards were hanged to be visually symetrical. The only round piece in the middle and three pointy thing on each side. Looks beautiful. +80 points to street credit.

    Agreed, but the correct order was not always followed.

    I see it now -you are correct!  Symmetry be not proud

    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.

    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.
