Claudius Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) I rescued this bar from a dealer's darkened corner three and half years ago (at no small price). I thought it was a unique combination with 50% of the awards being relatively scarce medals.I've tried, but the stamp on the GMMM ring is unreadable to the camera, but I can see under a loop that it is indeed a "333".

saschaw Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) There are only about 50 awards known of the Lübeck cross to Württembergers. I can rule some out for your bar as their rank does not match, but as I have no list of WgMVM recipients I cannot come down to one - but I guess others can... very nice bar!

saschaw Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Hey, I just realized... match! Now I really hope it's unique and identifiable. Edited July 28, 2023 by saschaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudius Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey, I just realized... match! Now I really hope it's unique and identifiable. Wow. That's cool. Yes, I hope it can be narrowed down. Right now I'm 0-2.About a month ago I remember that Detlev had a group with a medal bar that had two of these identifiers. But that bar had seven awards and came with a small photo of the recipient. It's sketchy, but I believe from L-R it was; EK2, WGMMM, Baden(?) Verdienst, LuK, HK, Wurt.LS(9year?) and a Deutshen Volkspflege medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Probably identifiable, but not at the moment with the state of the Rolls still being worked on. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 OK, best three suspects were all Leutnants der Reserve in KW Inf Rgt 126. I do not know whether any of them can be eliminated as dead before 1935--1) FRECH, Paul-- had WgM and L?H and no other known ribboned awards 2) HAMBURGER, Eugen the same3) RIEBER, Artur the sameThere were also three NCOs, but I cannot imagine that they did not have W?rttemberg long service awards. Or-- they might all have been killed before the end of the war--in which case no Hindenburg Cross. I would rule them out, as is.Sascha's lapel bow almost certainly belonged to one of the same three-- but cannot know which version of Third Reich long service award that was. Treudienst? RAD? I don't find any of the 6 as an Arbeitsf?hrer up before the war.The W?rttemberg and L?beck Rolls will be ready later this year or next year. :catjava: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
