Hello,
I just bought this off the estand and now that it's in hand I have some concerns. I recently became interested in Imperial stuff and this is my first medal bar so I have a lot to learn. The seller admitted that this is not his area of expertise either and he expressed his concerns since the bar sat on the estand so long. In hindsight I should have asked that it be discussed prior to purchasing but I tend to get excited and sometimes the cart gets ahead of the horse.
The first thing I noticed was the EK seems to lack the details I'm used to seeing. After talking a closer look I realized it's been repainted.
I also thought it was strange to see such a rough EK next to a stone mint Hindenburg Cross but for all I know this could be normal on medal bars.
Something else I thought could be worth mentioning is that the Bavarian Merit Cross is mounted before the EK. Are the two interchangeable?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
