Stogieman Posted June 15 Author Posted June 15 This one slipped through for only 36,60 Euro! Probably not identifiable, but a nice little bar!
Stogieman Posted June 15 Author Posted June 15 @lew, the seller of the Saxon Merit Order RK2mS has either relisted the cross, or has a second one listed. Either way, makes me a little suspicious. Exact same images as the last time it sold. I am unaware of this order having been faked like the Albert Order, but I suppose that’s possible or inevitable.

It wasn't sold I could see, and now relisted with lowered price still overpriced IMO. The cross is fine and in pretty good condition, typical Scharffenberg piece.

Stogieman Posted June 16 Author Posted June 16 A wonderful miniature Long Service Buttonier, cased, for 152-Euro on German eBay
Stogieman Posted June 16 Author Posted June 16 @lew, Good Morning, I agree that the cross looks like typical Scharffenburg. This was one of my first loves when I started down the Imperial Path so long ago. I still remember the first purchase. A medal bar with EK2, Merit Order2, Albert2 and Honor Cross. Came with all documents from US eBay for a mere $275. Not even sure how it caught my eye but I remember seeing it, thinking gee, that’s neat and opening the package. When I had it in my hands, I was hooked. The enamel work of the Merit Order was a favorite. Once upon a time I actually had a Merit Order RK1, first type, in a beautiful green case. Gold embossed trim and a little hook to close the case. Ralph Abercrombie bugged me for years to give it up to him and I eventually traded it to him. I wonder what ever became of it after he passed. Only cased example I ever saw.
Stogieman Posted June 16 Author Posted June 16 Nice boxed & cased KO EK1, but to my eyes the core has been painted?? 412-Euro
VtwinVince Posted June 16 Posted June 16 To me that's steep money for the commonest variant of EK in the commonest case.
Stogieman Posted June 16 Author Posted June 16 This one surprised me. No bidders at 65-Euro. Scarce variant in the packet.
Stogieman Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 This one went on US eBay, asking was $1450, sold to an unknown offer. Nice with the original case, unusual to see this cased
VtwinVince Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I thought all the cases from Foehr were scripted on the outside?
Stogieman Posted June 18 Author Posted June 18 Hi Vince, I’m unsure about that, cannot remember ever seeing this cased before?
VtwinVince Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Hard to find these without damaged enamel, but still crazy money.
Stogieman Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 Interesting bar, not sure if it can be identified, a little dingy. But nice, 168-Euro!
Stogieman Posted June 23 Author Posted June 23 Nice Brunswick Cross, used to have this cased and boxed. Scarce piece, 312-Euro
Stogieman Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 Yeah, I know, it’s Austrian, but still one beautiful piece. Asking 700-Euro, no bids. Seems high for a bronze-gilt one
Stogieman Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 This nice little bar sold through US eBay to an offer, asking was only $300!USD

Stogieman Posted July 2 Author Posted July 2 Good Morning Chet! The mounting is unusual but not without precedent. I prefer furled ribbons myself!
VtwinVince Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I'm also sceptical about that bar, too easy to fake with that type of sewing.
Stogieman Posted July 4 Author Posted July 4 Nice 8-place ribbon bar, might be identifiable, 152-Euro 1
