Great looking piece.
A lighter color blue or is that the camera. Capturing the correct color of these is very hard.
Do you know who it is made by and what period? There are so many different makers and I don't have much experience in telling them apart except for a few obvious clues. I also have very little expertise distinguishing between real and fakes. I heavily relied on other experts in purchasing mine. Not the best policy LoL...but in this case I had to ask for help.

I am not sure of the maker. I do know that the ribbon is very fragile because of age.
It is a lighter blue. I look at it this way. If I was this old I would be a little faded also. LOL..
I bid on another one today. It went way beyond my pocket book. $1150.00. It appeared to be a salesman sample.

So if I understand right the color of the Pour Le Merite was not standard and varied from light blue to dark blue, is that correct? I have seen that most are dark blue but there are ones
that are sky blue and I guess Wagner made a range of these colors. Would appreciate any help on this subject since all of the books I have read so far make this claim. Thanks again.
I have yet to purchase any reference books and will admit, that post this purchase, I haven't spent much more time studying them. I do recall reading that the enamel colors varied between makers. I will say however, that photographing mine to get the true color was quite difficult.

Your PLM does look sky blue and there are many photos of the PLM being worn that look sky blue. As you said many have said that the colors varied and the PLM got darker closer to the end of the first world war. Maybe the guys here can recommend a book or two that show the sky blue PLM! Thanks
Just saw a picture of a sky blue PLM on German Helmet Wallhalla that is a button hole medal. Interesting!
watch what you wish for. you mite just get what you wish for. wishes do come true, and a good one for you!
