Real eBay Items

This one went for only 199 Euro, not my favorite mounting but I do believe it’s legit 

[VtwinVince]

Looks like it was glued as part of a display. But the parts are worth the price of admission.

[Stogieman]

Unfortunately, looks like this was stripped from a bar, but I believe it’s legit. $228

[VtwinVince]

I'm shocked at the prices being paid for a piece of NK EK2 ribbon these days.

[Stogieman]

I watched this one with great interest but missed the end of the auction. Not sure if it can be identified. Condition was excellent. $132

[Stogieman]

Another interesting bar, went for $162. Thoughts?

As a European, first to my mind came the General Data Protection Regulation.

Whoops! Thanks Bernd!

This interesting little mini bar sold on eBay.de for 893-Euro. It looks okay to me but I don’t understand the two different Crown Order Medals? One appears to be silber and on a war ribbon and the other one is gilt and on the statute ribbon? Why? Has anyone ever seen this before? Or, is something been as Rick Research used to say “Little Monkey Fingered”? Your thoughts?

Rick, I had a good long look at that bar, it's the KO and RAO medals combo, with one on the war ribbon (rare). But I'm not so sure that this bar is legit, certain things about it have me doubting.

[Giannis S.]

A concern is for the Krieger-Verdienstmedaille in second place. With all those Prussian awards, there should be a MEZ2. Also the RAO medal was usually awarded to civilians, and I have never see it on the war ribbon.

[VtwinVince]

Other things bothered me about that bar, including the minty ribbons and type of thread used. And the combination of awards, of course.

In my opinion a fake bar

[Stogieman]

Good Morning Gentlemen, thank you all for weighing in. It’s the way we all learn!

[Stogieman]

eBay.de, 296-Euro 

[Stogieman]

This one was interesting, rarely see this version of an HK mounted. 351-Euro 

[VtwinVince]

I saw that one, pretty cool combo. I have a couple with the Kreuz fuer Eltern und Witwen.

[Stogieman]

Good Morning Vince, pretty interesting combination, I wonder how that happened!

[Stogieman]

316-Euro. Nice bar on eBay.de

[Stogieman]

This ran through eBay.de, asking was 599- with a BIN of 899-Euro. Quite a bit of damage, but it’s real.

[Stogieman]

Interesting bar from eBay.de, 1500-Euro! Not the greatest condition but very unusual combination 

[VtwinVince]

I like that one as well, but the price is stupid.

[Stogieman]

A very hefty opening bid of 4200-Euros could have made you the owner of this one!

[Stogieman]

Not an especially scarce medal but a very scarce case, maybe the third one I’ve seen. 257-Euro
