Good shape & original

Based on the single piece value of just the Hohenzollern, the St. Henry & the Ernestine, the rpice is pretty good at $3,500.00 Of course that assumes they are all original with enamel intact, but the Hohenzollern and St. Hnry Alone almost add up to $3K from whet I have seen of recent prices.

Nice looking bar in any case.....

Hello,

I agree. If original, the SH and the HHO alone would cost that much!

This is the Ordenskissen that I have assembled.

Of course I still need to decide if I want to mount this on a bar. This need to be court mounted Prussian style.

?

After 20 years of collecting them...why would you sell them ???.... beats me . I know , maybe he needs the money ?.. or that line you hear when people say they want to upgrade . But as a person who dabbles in collecting , I have spent 20 years collecting away ...and I would never think about selling anything . It becomes such a labour of love that sometimes you think " if this lot were ever stolen ... I don't think I could start again "..... but selling them ...nope .
Very interesting link though . I imagine that it will go for a packet .

The value of the individual orders far exceeds the starting bid. I have most of these in my collection, and would be happy to pay that for this group.

Medal Picture

GMU,

Would you please repost your picture. I wanted to use it as a screen saver and the picture has something running through it. That is a beautiful piece of work. I would like to do something similar but with replicas as retirement pay would never pay for the real thing. BTW, where can you get replicas of those awards?

Willi, most of these orders can be found as replicas on ebay.de, usually from the manufacturer Goede, and are reasonably priced.
