Baden pre 1914 medalbar - expensive fixing job?

[Noor]

Hi all,


It has been a long time when I last posted under that section.

Anyway, I was able to pick up one pretty nice pre 1914 trapezoid medal bar from Baden. I was actually so "rusty" that weren't even able to ID the first ribbons.... I put the blame to the bad pictures because the bar isn't arrived yet and those few glasses of vino, that I had .


Anyway, what we have here is stripped Baden bar with the following awards:


- Baden: Order of the Zähringer Lion

- Austria: Order of the Iron Crown

- Prussia: 1870/71 Franco Prussian War Commemorative medal

- Prussia: 1897 Centenary medal

- Baden: 1902 Jubilee medal


Really interesting combination but probably impossible to trace like RR confirmed to me already (thank you for that and again - it's great to see you back!).


Anyway, as a student, financial side do not allow me to get that bar fixed and I leave it to the new owner when it moves. I may start it and get the 1870/71 Prussian medal and Baden jubilee to the end. lets see how it goes. What kind of money we are talking about regards the first two correct period awards?


Any comments and suggestions would be great. When that little bugger is arrived to Dublin, I will post some better pictures as well.


Regards,

Here are some better scans. I ordered 1870/71 Franco-Prussian medal already. Now 1902 Baden to pick up and two orders...

i don`t think that there was a iron crown on # 2

an early zähringer lion is very hard to get and very expensive...

I checked with one Baden collector and an expert and they are sure that its the Austrian Order of the iron Crown.
