Some Eagle Orders...

[Antonio Scapini]

Hi guys, this is not my field and I'd like to hear what do you think about these pieces.
I have the possibility to buy all these, because a collector want to sell all his collection.
Any comment is appreciated!
Thanks for your help!
Best, Antony.

Sorry for the yellowi-light of the pictures, but I had not the possibility to make them with the day light.

Thanks again, Antony.

They all look "good" from the pictures....but of course, hands on inspection is always the final answere....but aside from obvious flaws....they all look original to me...

#5 seems to have issues IMO.... some of the others have very fat centers where the arms meet in the middle. Neck orders would be marked on the fixed rings usually 900 21 maker. Are any marked at all? One must be careful with these , and need to be closely scrutinized,...as they are highly reproduced. I have one neck order left, 1 stufe...Ill see if i can dig it out to show you for comparison later. Is the auction tomorrow? Hopefully not. There is an aution tomorrow. Good luck. Auction buys are non returnable when in person, so beware.

I don't care for #5....it has issues. Its trying to be a neck cross, but likely a original ribbon....Neck orders can have just a silver mark, or usually early ones have 900 21. Also are very finely done, they fake these big time.....and to an untrained eye can fool the novice.

All the pieces that you show are original and in very good state of conservation.

The number one: It is a beautiful badge of second class without swords, marked 900 in the needle of the Godet manufacturer (indeed now I am looking for an equal for my collection and would be interested in the purchase of whom you show)

The number two: It is a beautiful Cross of third class with swords, first model of 1937 (it observes which it does not have the fan in the curtain ring )

The number three: Another cross of 3St or 5St class with swords, this time of later manufacture in 1939. Surely it will have marks 900 and 21 in curtain ring (5St class, revision of 1943) or one "E" in the fan (3St Class 1939)

The number four: Just as the previous one but without swords

The number Five: It is a rare and beautiful 1St class of the German eagle Order first model (1937), withouth fan.

The number Six: Very nice 1St class without swords of the German Eagle Order of later manufacture (1939 model)

Really, you have in his hands the opportunity to buy an authentic treasure, that will not leave to him cheap. All these pieces usually have very high prices. 2St class without swords badge and the one of First class of 1937 (without fan) would interest to me

Hello Antony.
I do not like any cross on this set.
Cross #2 is the very rare 1937 first type, without the "fan" suspender. The swords first appear in the year of 1939 when this design was already long gone. So, it is IMPOSSIBLE to have this type of cross with swords, therefore this example is a fantasy piece.
The lack of quality and details are a FACT in all crosses.
All fakes in my opinion, stay away from those.
