Stogieman Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 This had an asking open of 65-Euro and sold to an offer. To me, a brand new piece of junk.
ChrisKelly Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) I have never seen that combination of medals before. That, the obvious unofficial "Weltkrieg 1914-18" bar, the apparently felt cloth backing, and the fresh reproduction ribbons are dead giveaways. I wonder if the medals are reproductions as well.

Stogieman Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 Good Morning All! I have seen non-combatant/civilian bars with two Honor Crosses that were legit. But I agree with you that this is just not right! I don’t think the medals are fake, just the mounting and the Weltkrieg bar. As my dear Friend, Rick Research, used to say….”little monkey fingers have been at work” 😂
Stogieman Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 I suppose it’s possible that this is a stone-cold mint original bar, but I just don’t care for the mounting at all. The individual pieces look good but at an opening bid of 1500- GBP I just can’t see it.

I wouldn’t classify the clasp as unofficial. They did exist. The one shown does look like a recent casting and I agree that the bar would not be for my collection. Edited January 13 by CRBeery
VtwinVince Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I actually like the looks of that Trapetz with the unconventional hooks. 1
Stogieman Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 I think my Evil Twin, Rick Research, is laughing out loud in Heaven at this one that sold for 278-Euro
Stogieman Posted January 19 Author Posted January 19 I’m on the fence on this one, I don’t know enough about the St. Mike’s to make a decision. I will say that the backing looks brand new to me.
Stogieman Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen! I am unsure of this set, so placing it here and I welcome your feedback. I believe the EK is real, despite the fuzzy pictures. The Sub Badge, I just don’t know. I’ve only owned one in the past. The pin assembly is unlike any I’ve seen before. The little engraved tag is interesting, as is the case. It brought 1010-Euro. What do you think?
Stogieman Posted January 21 Author Posted January 21 This was offered in the US eBay for $297, no taker. I’m on the fence on it. It does seem to have pretty convincing details. Thoughts??
VtwinVince Posted January 21 Posted January 21 You're right, the EK is real, but I think the rest is crap. I had that Philipp Cross checked out by 'the Germans', it's a fake.
Stogieman Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 Good Morning! I’m on the fence about this bar. I think the medals are real but the mounting is weird and looks artificially aged in my eyes. US eBay, $170
Stogieman Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Yet another “Rare First Pattern 1813 EK2”! Amazingly, this seller has an unlimited supply of these and sells one a week!! Who knew they were so common?? 255-GBP! A h, such a deal!!😂
VtwinVince Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Need better pictures to judge that one. Here is a fairly decent fake Jerusalem Cross.
Stogieman Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Good Morning All! Despite being bid up to 574-Euro, I really don’t think so! “Poellath”😂
VtwinVince Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Saw that one Rick, would have been a steal at that price if real.
Stogieman Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Despite the 1260-Euro bid, I doubt the authenticity of this cross. Your thoughts?
