real bloodorder?

[Nico C]

I'm putting this pics on the forum for a friend of mine.
He bought this bloodorder and thinks it is a good one.
I have my doubts, but I'm not a real political medal collector.
So, maybe if someone could help me out....
Thanks,
Nico

I'm sorry about the pics, but i'm not so good in making pics.
I hope they are clear enough.....

[Jon Fish]

No the pics are not clear enough,but from what I see I don't like it.
And there was never a ribbon bar like this.

Fredo-

I'd like to see better shots - these are much to blurry - but so far I don't like what I see. I have my doubts about it's authenticity, but again better shots are needed to be sure.

Is there an echo in here ?

Argh!!! Beat by the Fishman again

Jon - you always beat me on the draw

At first I thought Souval copy, but AFAIK they only made second patterns, not first patterns. I've been comparing these pics to mine and other first patterns and there are a few things I don't like; the detail on the lions and Feldherrnhalle, amongst other things. I think this is one of the higher-quality fakes, but like I said I'd need to see better pictures to be sure.

And yes, you are correct about the ribbon bar!

An out and out copy too many concerns to quote ,not even close I'm afraid.

[Jon Fish]

Talking of terrible blutorden fakes,take a look at this monster, Mannions had this for auction last week
I thought they were supposed to be making efforts to get better under new ownership ?

Am trying again with the pics !

[Jon Fish]

Reverse.......

[Jon Fish]

Try again....

[Jon Fish]

Oh damn,cannot work out these sizes !!!!!!!

I agree that better photos are necessary--there are some very high quality reproductions on the market now, so it's really hard to say without a hands on examination, or at least some really focused shots. I see some aspects I like and some I don't.
