Prinzen Awards anyone?

[Don D.]

Its been a while since we've looked at these so post them if you've got them.

This'll be Carl's thread soon.

Here's my 1870 EK1 Prince.

Here's mine.

Beautiful awards but let's not limit it to just EKs.

But all I've got is Eks

I agree with Don. Let's see them all. What ever the are.

Don, nice to see your twin 'Blued core 3/4 size 1914 EKII Prinzen'. Have another twin couple of those exact crosses coming in soon, one on normal ribbon and one on Austrian trifold. Sadly missed their EKI brother and that buggs me a lot!

Greg, do you still have Tonys permission to post his Prinzen crosses? Would be nice to have them all in one thread.

Everybody> Doing a study on Prinzen EK's from 1813, 1870 and 1914 and buying what i can get my hands on. Need lots of help though! High res pics, measurements and weight are much appreciated. Pm me if you are up to it.

Carl,
Good idea. Here are Tony's Prinzens (1870,1813,1914)



From the collection of " Tiger 1 "

Thanks, Greg. Tony's 1870 EK2 is a match for my EK1, which is also a match for Bismarck's, which is at the DHM. It's a Jubilee (1895) example.

WTF! Was at the Deutsches Historisches Museum a week ago and missed that one! Bringing beer thirsty friends to look at old medals is a BAD idea

Thanks Greg! Tonys 1914 is the "blued core" as well, seems to be the most common, and nicest, 1914 EKII Prinzen. Only saw one EKI like that and first ordered it but changed my mind and bought the 2 blued core EKII's instead. The 1813 is probably a 1830-40 one, comes in a wideframe version as well.

Here's mine so far

1914 EKI 3/4 size, probably JWS/Juncker:

Some nice looking crosses.
I'm surprised that we have only seen Eks. No WBs or pretty enamel pieces.

I love prinzens; but they are so darned rare.

For you GregM.:

Here are some little fellows who have come home from their hiding places for the weekend - to hunt for Easter eggs on Sunday.

Reverse.

And from Brunswick.

Very cool Chris,
I have never seen a Prinzen Red Eagle before.

Thanks for posting it.
