Bavaria order of st hubertus in cloth

[Justin]

<hr> A friend of mine is looking to put this award up on the market. However its been difficult trying to find a relative value. He took it to the max a few years ago with a couple of the larger German dealers trying to buy it but would not come up with a price. The Prussian version of this award in cloth is somewhere around 1600 or so. Any info would help.

Justin:

There is NO "Prussian equivalent of this award". This is a Royal Bavarian award only. This piece looks genuine, but unfortunately it is in poor condition. Even in perfect condition, compared to metal stars, the market demand is a bit weak for these. In this condition, I would value it at approximately US$800 or so.

Best regards

Prussian version of the award was the wrong term should of been equivalent.

Hello,

it is interesting to note that the paper backing on the reverse shows a pencil-written note "zu 59...", where the last digit could be a "5".

Translating from German, this means "to no. 59...", being a note from an inventory of a collection or an ancient group of orders.

...if such pieces could talk...

Hello Justin,

For comparison, here is a very similar example...

Hello Rangemaster,

Basically, I agree with your point that the market demand for embroidered stars is relatively weak, even though, in my opinion they are often more historically significant and reflect a type and quality of workmanship that is so superior that comparisons are virtually impossible. Nevertheless, I do think that, offered in the proper venue, this star could realize a price the other side of $1.000.
