Very interesting bar, although the KVM appears to be a lower quality spangenstueck.

Your medal bar with order of St.Anna medal is real cracker!

Here is two my bars with hint of Imperial Russia:

Saxony medal bar with "Sa userdije" medal:

And bar with Order of St. Stanislaus ribbon:

Za Userdie - For Zeal - Very good award in germany group ,

Very interesting material, Igor Ostapenko. A question and an observation, if I may.

Could you, or anyone else, provide information relative to the gentleman in post #2? The uniform that he is wearing appears to me to be that of some sort of royal (Prussian, I assume) household staff, like a chauffeur.

I agree with VtwinVince that the KVM is a spangenstueck. Also, I find it curious that the ribbon to the KVM is very worn while all other ribbons appear to be quite fresh, even the first two which I would think are more exposed to wear. Just an observation.

All things considered, a beautiful, and certainly unique, bar. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Best wishes,

Wild Card.

Igor, I'd love to find a miniature of the medal for foreigners, as I have a mini medal bar (courtesy of Noor) which is missing this medal. I bet it's impossible to find one.

I can add this group from my yesterday's update to this great thread.

The Prussian long service award might be a non-matching replacement and the St. Anne order's medal is damaged... but still, a nice group!

Hi Sascha,

It seems to have an hallmark on the ring, can you tell us more about it please ?

Christophe

[saschaw]

No, it's not an hallmark. The whole award is gilt brass, the upper ring probably (modern) replaced, and with some scratches and so.

There are probably nicer ones... Anyone? There must be some more out...

[Deruelle]

Thanks Sascha. Who knows how many St Anne cross were awarded to German officers ? Thanks

Thanks Sascha. Who knows how many St Anne cross were awarded to German officers ? Thanks

I would think, officers got the Order of St.Anne (or others). The medal was for the lower ranks.

Regards, Komtur.
