Stogieman Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 So, is it me, or has someone lost their mind? On what planet is this order worth 930 USD? I feel like I’m missing something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 As opposed to this little group with an imo reasonable opening bid for what it is. Ridiculous Buy It Now price, but a very nice mini group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I was watching that as well. Then again, Weitze lists them without crown for 550e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The final price wasn't out of line when you consider the condition and the maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spolei Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hello, the pieces with crown are usually twice as expensive, because much rarer. 4 class swords about 20,000 awards, MVO 4th class crown and swords about 3,500 awards. This class rarely appears lately, which also drives up the price. The shown cross is a Hemmerle with silver gilded medallion. regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I'm getting to the age where I have to start thinking about where all this stuff will end up. At these prices, it's tempting to think about "thinning the herd". But, as usual, I hate to get rid of anything I haven't upgraded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spolei Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) My newest entry. I've been searching for this Hemmerle with golden medaillons about ten years. regards Andreas 2 minutes ago, spolei said: Hier mein neuester Zugang, ist aber auch diese Preiskategorie. Diese Stufe mit echt goldenen Medaillons von Hemmerle suche ich schon seit 10 Jahren. Gruss Andreas Edited September 21, 2023 by spolei 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spolei Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The manufacturer of the three MVO is Weiss&Co. The enamel of the right one looks awful. It should look like the left one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly，I don’t have another pic of them right now. Enamels are basicly the same if you actually look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 Really nice medal bar sold on eBay.de for about $675.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Even Germany is not immune to this price frenzy! Three beautiful Albert Orders and prices realized for uncased orders. And I’ll say this, I didn’t care for how any of these looked. The swords just didn’t look right to me! Albert Knight 1, with Crown & Swords: $592 Albert Knight 1, with Swords: $403 Albert Knight 2, with Swords:$223 (actually, not a bad price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Boxed set of EKs, dubious engraving imo, now at $1255! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Huxley Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Got to agree with you Rick. Just 2 normal EK's that somebody has had engraved and put into a dubious case and added a picture. Whoever has bid this price must be a lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannis S. Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 IMHO the engraving looks very "American". Something like from a modern jeweler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess $380 isn't that bad if you take 22 years of inflation into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Over $500 now and I think the case is actually for a first class. The lettering is really worn off but that looks like a one to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 You're right Rick, the case is for an AO1, and I'm not convinced about the medal either. And everything about that EK set is fake, wrong and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Now you all had me wondering who made my only BMV4XKr. I think it is a Hemmerle, but my eyes fail me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
