Stogieman Posted December 15, 2023 Author Posted December 15, 2023 That fake 1813 EK1 is up to $1075!
Stogieman Posted December 16, 2023 Author Posted December 16, 2023 Fake Bavarian Pilot Badge, asking $2800!
VtwinVince Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 The fakers are getting much better with the Poellath cases these days, they used to be easy to spot.
Stogieman Posted December 16, 2023 Author Posted December 16, 2023 True, but they still haven’t been able to replicate the velvet base. The reproduction cases it’s too thick. Carsten Baldes brought my attention to this. Same with the fake Schaper cases and there’s loads of those on eBay!
VtwinVince Posted December 16, 2023 Posted December 16, 2023 True, and my examples have the writing more centred in the lid, and the line spacing is tighter.
Stogieman Posted December 17, 2023 Author Posted December 17, 2023 Fake 1813 EK1 now over $1400! People are really crazy!!
Stogieman Posted January 30 Author Posted January 30 Uncommon medal, scarce case… but 770-Euro and climbing?
Stogieman Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 Up to 910- Euro. I just don’t get it, what am I missing??
Bernd_W Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) Quote A total of 1,091 awards of the Herzog Ernst Medal with clasp “1914” can be identified, almost a third of which were awarded to women and virgins. Quote At the same time, a crown was also donated with which the medal could be awarded “in cases of outstanding such merits”. So I guess the crown is much more scare. https://woeschler-orden.de/katalog/archiv/sachsen-altenburg-herzog-ernst-medaille-mit-spange-1914-1er-ordensschnalle Edited January 31 by Bernd_W
lew Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) 3 hours ago, Stogieman said: Up to 910- Euro. I just don’t get it, what am I missing?? Herzog Ernst Medal with crown and 1914 clasp is quite rare. Only 8 awards according to Nimmergut (mentions in NI3 p.1518, no. 3699), or 58 awards according to Volle (in VWK p. 111, no. 19.4), Lundström and Krause (in SA22 p. 89 f.). None cased examples went for 700-1000 in auctions already 10+ years ago. But! better photos are definitely needed in order to confirm if the ebay piece is legit or not, copies do exist, well maybe they're called 'spangestuck'. https://www.kuenker.de/de/archiv/stueck/158896 Note the semi hollowed crown design on originals. The ebay piece Edited February 1 by lew 1
Stogieman Posted February 1 Author Posted February 1 Thanks Lew, appreciate the information and additional images. Makes more sense to me now, didn’t realize just how scarce this was. The eBay piece does look like a hollow crown but I agree the pictures leave much to be desired. Thanks for the help!
Stogieman Posted March 5 Author Posted March 5 Don’t know if this is one of the few real ones or just another copy, don’t care for the details or the color. Current bid is $620!!
Stogieman Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 Final bid on sub badge was $1387!! Anyone know if it was real?
VtwinVince Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Those are a major minefield. I'm not big on the reverse finishing on that one.
