From what period? Not the usual device to attach oak leaves, is it? Looks awesome.

Hi Tiger 1,

Beautiful member of the Rothe family, it would seem, but a very unusual suspension....
Got any sense of the metal content?

Would be nice to get Elmar Lang's opinion on it

Prost!

Tony,
What's the story to go with this piece?

[Tiger 1]

Sorry for the poor images....these are pics of photos I took a while back.

This set was found at an antique show in New Orleans. I had a shot at acquiring this PLM but at the time I was a bit more than short on the asking price. Just couldn't swing the deal any which way and only have the photos to show for my efforts.

Time period... I do not know for certain. I understand that the round front case is the original presentation case. The three stripe ribbon is also correct for the oakleaves device. The oakleaves are a bit funky but apparently were contemporary to the time frame and not a much later attachment. Speculation on my part here but I haven't seen anything like them since.

I remember the piece being silver gilt and was marked J.G. u S .

I will try to dig up some notes I took back then for more info.
