Hessen medalbar

[Ralph A]

Is this type of mounting unusual?

[Ralph A]

Reverse.

Current eBay auction.

Looks like a common period mounting to me Regards Chris

Current eBay auction.

If that's the same one I think it is, they're also selling a matching ribbon bar, and splitting a Wuerrtemburg medal bar from it's corresponding miniature chain.

They sale flea market finds out of Germany. They don't care about matching sets. They seperate everything and all starting bids are $4.99. Regards Chris

I suppose I can't get too bent at 'em. I did manage to finagle my war merit MVK/MVO ribbon bar from them for $50.

Great bar Chris I have got a couple of deals from them too. I guess they figure they can make more money this way. Regards Chris

"They"

are Ralf Kneip and Nicola Pack. No experts, and they'll tell you so. Caveat Emptor, but I've gotten some good stuff from them. I love the descriptions. I think Nicola writes them. I don't think she knows what "original" means...

I'm going to try for both, but the miniature decorations seen to be switched out on the chain.

Thanks for the responses, guys!

I was bidding on that ribbon bar, when eBay did one of it's wonder screw ups, and dumped off most of their auctions. I emailed them and made an offer. They emailed me to offer a couple of other ribbon bars that were nice, but not nearly as rare, for half again the price.

Thier ignorance is my bliss.
