    1. Nice ! Not many good bars there on Saturday. I was looking for bars with foreign awards but did not see one !
    2. I thought it was cool ! Not many awards I don’t think on the merit cross about 5k ? To an wurttemburg NCO I assume a regimental connection? Am I assume a civilian for the 2 medal bar ?
    3. Here are a few non combatant items I’ve picked up ! 1st nice Prussian reserve officer bar 2 Oldenburg 3 lippe
    4. I think they had to apply for the Austrian and Bulgarian medals they were commemorative . he would be a native from Saxe-Altenberg . here is one I have with no commemoratives but an Austrian Silver bravery medal . Only about 2300 war medal Altenberg bravery medals . Now we both need to find early one !
    5. Thanks for input I alway appreciate your help. The NK bar is a bit odd but all ribbons are no glow and seem evenly aged /faded all sewn same manner and awards are good . It and the others out of an Old collection from late 80s early 90s been in storage . My gut is it good just a frugal old soldier sewing it himself or his wife doing it they are actually pretty nicely folded in person the bar presents better . Been reading up on Red Cross awards and the second class would be a war time award and they were ranked that way . I assume Bronze was peacetime award. Technically the honor cross should be placed higher but seen them placed in odd places before .I thought Nassau was cool little bar and large bar I thought same No LS ?with the Austrian Anschluss medal and war service was he still in or a civilian ? I paid basically less than what single awards would cost in todays market so I took a chance on the 4 bars . Thanks
    6. I think I had a good show ? 1914 and 1870 non combatant bar Nassau 1866/Prussian bar and WW1 WW2 large order bar. Oops! Can a moderator remove the sewer line repair photo ? Don’t know how that one slipped in ?
    7. Well found a nice example! bar is complete! Thanks for all the help ! I love these old timer bars !
    8. I have seen this bar for sale I know it’s missing Prussian war merit cross Prussian general honor cross and general honor medal . What value without medals would you say ? what’s does general honor cross cost ?
    9. I believe may have had swords on Bavarian cross ? A mix of Non combat and combat ?
    10. Only thing I could think is a German who moved to Romania in early 30s and never applied for honor cross ? Seems a mixed up mess ? And no iron cross ? Gold bravery medal from Austria and no iron cross ?
    11. My question is if a German or Austrian where are the Honor cross and Austrian troop cross ? Romanian award and ribbon confuse me I assume for post wwi ? And the last medal ummm wrong ribbon ? Romanian anti communist ribbon medal is 1940s ? Indian award ? So total fantasy bar ? Or is it to a German NCO ? But no honor cross ? Thoughts ?
    12. Just plain red . Not sure if it’s proper case but came in it ? Reverse hospital thanks that explains toy DR that came with it ! Seller said they came together?
    13. Engraved Res.Laz1 Nuremberg cane in red box silvered bronze . any info on unit ?
    14. Usually don’t buy 3rd reich but they were very cheap ! 1st class marked 15 on pin all are 3 piece and magnetic.
    15. Took a chance for about $32 on this it’s really a beautiful made medal . No engravers mark and ring I believe is type used on German made examples ?
    16. I am taken by the overwhelming quality of this cross ! It’s is so pretty and I must say out of the few I have it is my favorite!
