That's good news, I've got two of those.

IMO the case is not so seldom.

"Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen" implies, it was used for all these medals, not only "Tapferkeit".

This interesting bar brought 1236-Euro in Germany 

[Stogieman]

Same seller, 531-Euro 

[Stogieman]

This was run through eBay.de with an asking of 2500-Euro 

[Stogieman]

eBay.de, asking was 1100-Euro!

[Stogieman]

Kind of surprised this didn’t garner more attention. It’s an extremely scarce piece, especially cased. I bought one forever ago from Detlev. I’m only aware of a couple other examples in private collections. I know it’s not a military award, but it sure is a pretty one!

451-Euro, eBay.de

[VtwinVince]

You're right Rick, I thought that was a comparative bargain.

[Stogieman]

The funny thing is the fakes of this routinely sell for $3-600, here’s a real one and final bid was only $152!

Very nice bar from eBay.de, 2166-Euro

And this Bar was discussed in multiple German Forums. Where the Overall opinion was, Original medals, but Fake Bar

I think its fine 🫠

This interesting Bavarian ribbon bar with a St. Michael’s ribbon brought $89

[Stogieman]

Nice to see this, I think it’s a mid-printed KO stamp. Only thing missing is the internal tissue. eBay.de, 142-Euro 

[bolewts58]

No. It's actually 'Y'. 'Y' was an unknown maker.

 

'KO' wrappers look like this.

 

BTW. These never came with internal tissue. I've had several of them and there was never tissue. The cross, ribbon and black safety pin were wrapped as is inside the wrapper.

Thanks! I’ve actually had two that had tissue, or something similar, inside holding the cross. I have no clue at this point who the makers were!

I'm not saying you're wrong. Maybe it depended on the maker. I've had 10 different wrappers with crosses and never had tissue in any of them.

This interesting bar just closed on eBay.de at 805-Euro!

[Stogieman]

This little, boxed beauty brought 208-Euro!

[Stogieman]

This one disappeared before I even got a shot at it! Scarce oversized case. 680-Euro!!

[Stogieman]

A busy week in Germany, common medal in uncommon condition, 258-Euro 

[VtwinVince]

Boy, those are some hefty numbers. I thought the Knauer box was only for the first class FA cross?

[Stogieman]

I would agree, I believe the Second Class came in a paper packet
