Knight Crosses today

[Tom B]

Gentlemen,

I’m wondering what would be an acceptable value for a preliminary award document for a Knights Cross (Bergdorf signature)?

Thanks,

It depends on who it is awarded to and of course condition....$2,500.00???

Hi Sepp ! More great stuff !! Thanks my friend ! Tom

Well, at last.. a final confirmation! Erwin Rommel's grouping (awards, medal bar, baton, etc..) are stored at the Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. I didn't have a name of the place before, but now we do.

And from a footage taken from a documentary made by Spiegel in 2013, here is another view of the amazing KC that once belonged to the Desert Fox

I'm also going to update the Baton's thread, so don't miss it

From an old auction catalog, the RK formal award document of Oberst Arthur Boje, presented to him February 5th, 1942.

I'll try to find a better pic.
