Stogieman Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Greetings All! It has been far too long that I have perused these pages. i couldn’t find a thread on this bar and I apologize if this is a duplicate query. i actually liked this bar with the exception of the swords on the crown order ribbon. The devices all looked legit to me so I threw a lowball bid at it and won the bar. Details and images to follow once it arrives. In the interim, thoughts? To say I’m a bit rusty would be an understatement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I saw this one too, and honestly didn't pay much attention to it, as fleabay has been inundated with fake Feldschnallen lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) This one was shown years ago on WAF. Good bar, definitely a Friedrichsorden in fourth place. Edited December 28, 2022 by Nicolas7507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 I had not considered a faded Hesse ribbon and that makes perfect sense, thanks! So the next question is how possible to ID? Any Research Gnomes out there? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted January 1, 2023 Author Share Posted January 1, 2023 Ok, bar is here. Looks, feels and smells legit. I think you’re right, it’s a Hessian Bravery Medal faded out just like the Bavarian Long Service is faded out. I have a new laptop and I haven’t figured out how to connect the scanner yet but here’s a couple more views. The catch is machine punched, not hand trimmed brass.

Daniel Krause Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Looks good to me as well. Still no wearer IDd...hopefully someone will turn up. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
