Hello,

Looks very much like the replica one I bought 10+ years ago. I think I'd want the right to a refund if it turns out not to be an original. Hmmm, wonder if Leo Opdycke would know?

It's a scam... no MvR and who the hell is Ritter von MULZER?????
 
Yes, very suspicious in deed. Interesting on the two-seater statement that more were awarded to them then fighters .... questionable? Anyone?

WF2
 
Oh yes, that's 100% true... more were also awarded to the Mess Hall cooks and shoe-shine back at the drome.

MvR didn't deserve the BM... his mechanic did... or maybe Fritz did?

LOL! BM my a$$!

I bought one of those on ebay 10 years ago. It's nice enough. I had no idea the value went up so much. Bargola for Jimbo.

Richthofen got his in 1917 :). Of the 86 awarded in 1916, only 13 went to fighter pilots, and the rest went to the army, navy, etc. I originally goofed and thought the Blue Max was only awarded to the air force!

So it was exciting to see that on eBay, and I immediately thought it was from a pilot. But probably not :(

Catfish...such a good deal!

I would like to order 50 of these original medals from you for resale!

I will send you full payment in cash once the ink dri....uhhh, I mean my foreign investment profit deposit is made to my bank!

:cool:
 
After you add up all the money from your sox drawer, to buy that authentic Blue Max, so that you can wear it, while strutting around you living room.

You can't do any proper strutting without the proper music. Plus most of us can't afford the $1,750 for the medal.

What we need is a good Prussian Military March Tune. Did they ever write a concherto for the Tuba ? :monkies:
 
Maybe I'll buy it and add it to the five I've already got. That and the Iron Cross (with Diamonds, Swords, and Oakleaves) and Tiffany-style Medal of Honor.

C'mon, if it's real, it should be on display in a museum somewhere, not held in some collector's dresser drawer, only to be brought out and worn when he (or she:a1089:) is playing OFF BHAH.
 
It's real. Oh, by the way, I have this great mountain out my back door. Looks down on beautiful Lake Louise ... quite reasonable - I was going to put it on E-bay, but I thought I'd OFFer forum members first crack...:gossip:
Cheers,

The seller added more details to the item in the Q&A section: "I don’t own this PLM, I’m selling it for a friend from Holland. He confirms it’s an end 1916 piece, belonged to the German nobility family of Konrad Kalau von Hofe (captain of the infantry, who died in April 1917)."

Weird that the Pour Le Merite website doesn't have him listed, but I found somewhere else that Hofe received his medal on July 23 1916. Mystery solved! :)
 
That was awesome WF2! I've never seen anyone play a tuba like that. I think I'll stick with the bass that has strings. I never could get into an instrument that I had to blow on.

Ladies ant gentlemen
Vizz a little shame, I confess, zatt der Blaue Max above was mine; see my ssread from 1. Januar. I vass just short of mony, when ze OFF-Team suddenly (and totally unexpected!) announced ze releaze of der P3.
I had to make der choice - P3 or ze medal. At Ebay, I got 50 Dollarz for it. And I could not resist.
But I vill climb into my Albatros as soon as P3 is here, and get me anozzer "Blue Max", for ze sake of ze Kaizer and ze Fazzerland!
Hochachtungsvoll

PS: POL - so you hav at last understood, what a fine ssing zatt is vizz der 2 Spandaus, I see from your avatar. Makes you reach der "Blue Max" much faster! And zatt is only der Albatros - more good planez are still to come. But der Albatros is just der most beautiful of zem, I ssink. Vill always bring you back in one piece, der good machine. Enjoy, and lotz of victories!
