    Thanks. I had the chance many years ago to acquire a reproduction of Richthofen's medal bar, made from real medals, on ebay. I still kick myself for not pulling the trigger, as it was very well made.

      Yes, I know. I also followed that auction. Its base price was low by todays standards. That bar was assembled by Daniel Cole, and it is shown here on this thread ( color photo on the middle) he eventually broke the bar up and sold the pieces individually.

      Here is my replication ( I have to mount them) all original pieces except.

        That's the guy, and it was a super job he did, as evidenced by the photo in this thread. I've done a few modern medal bars for display purposes, and it isn't as easy as it looks.

          One of the cups (No. 61) will be on the next auction of Hermann Historica

              I guess most was plundered and/or destroyed.
              The medal displays shown above are replicas.

              Agree.

                  The problem is:

                  The selling silver cup it seems that is the same in the canadian war museum.

                  You see the photo here:

                    Yes, I remember in his autobiography he says that no silver could be gotten for his victory cups, so he stopped having them made.
                    Though I can't remember at which one.

                      I recall at least one of MvR's victory cups being auctioned off from the Norm Flayderman collection years ago. I do not know the provenance of that cup but recall it went above $5K USD.

                          His 61 victory cup, went very cheap for a very
                          important historical item. I can understand it might
                          be difficult to authenticate, but personal I like
                          it, and wish it was mine:-)
