Weird Bavaria: The St. George Jubilee Medal, 1889

[OvBacon]

I have to agree with CCJ.

I've never understood why anyone would spend any money (above 30 bucks) on a reproduction/museum copy or whatever euphemisms are out there. But now I understand that if you want to create a specific medal bar and a medal is extremely rare you would. Although I do really believe that if something is worth the price to you it is worth it....

Here a copy again

Please let me know if anyone sees further copy medals for sale.

O.K.

REVISITING:  I hope another copy will come to market, offered as a copy instead of a real one.

Vernon's Collector's Guide lists this medal under the category of "Military and House Order of St. George" and shows it being awarded in both gold and silver.

The medals were only awarded in gold. However, gold-plated silver medals 
could be obtained privately.

Many greetings, Walter

Still soliciting leads for another copy of this medal. I have only found two and bought them. Would like another one.

I check Etsy and Ebay often but haven't seen another one for years. 

[waldo]

These medals are very rare in their original form. There are good fakes, 
even in gold. I am aware of 78 original minted medals.

Waldo: I was lucky to find two excellent copies. If you can help me find another, I would be very grateful.

[waldo]

That will be difficult. I don't know anyone who wants to sell an original 
at the moment. Maybe you can post pictures of your copies here?

Waldo: I am sorry; You misunderstand. I do not want an original!  I only want another copy. I hope you or someone can help me find another COPY of this medal. I know they are out there since I have bought two. 

Also, photo of one of my copies is shown on the medal bar I made, below:

Waldo: Vielen Danke. I think this is just a bit too expensive. I'd go 150 Euros but there is no 'best offer' for it yet. I am watching it. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it. 

[waldo]

Servus Phil,

Ask the seller if he will sell the medal to you cheaper.

Many greetings to Cincinnati from Bavaria

[filfoster]

Walter: That is a good suggestion that I didn't follow. After thinking on it and seeing a real one listed for 10x that price, I just bought it. Please accept my thanks again for helping to find it! Be well my friend!

[filfoster]

Walter: Here is the ebay listing photo for a supposed real one

[waldo]

Hello Phil,
it is not an original.

Many greetings, Walter

Here it is. I gold plated it.
