The photo of the guy wearing the 3rd Class cross, BO and other goodies is very suspicious. Just look at the wrist watch he is wearing. That looks modern to me.

Yes, it does state that none of the 3rd class were awarded but they do exist. I'm not sure why Mr. Ailsby included that photo on his blog.Originally posted by Stan View Post
I was misinformed by an article I found on the net last year about the 3rd class original awards and fakes. It stated that the Deumer type shown in the first picture in the article was in fact the Hungarian fake. Of course this is not the case.Comment

Just found a Souval 3rd class @ £635. Too Much?Comment

This was offered by Andreas-Thies some years ago.
Amazing piece indeed...Comment

Difficult to answer. The Souval is just a copy and though a nice one its not the real deal, so yes, that's a lot of money. You can get a nice (nicer) copy for about 1/12 of that so its completely up to what you want to spend. I confess that the only Souval copy I'd chase is the 1st class as the hanger is the proper two piece affair (the connection being made with the "loop" at the top of the Laural wreath) where as the modern copies are all one piece.Originally posted by reichenberg View PostComment

Incidentally, are there any pictures around of the red enamel version?Comment

There may be, but that's not the DO.Comment

Just wanted to show this one which looks like a Souval to me but there seems to be one or two variations on the pin set up?
