    Hello Gents,

    Look at what the postman brought this morning!

    A beautiful 1866 trio medalbar!

    I love these old bars....so much history and over 130 yrs old too!

    I wonder of we could pin a thread about medals and Medalbars from the 1800's?

    Be a good reference for newbies....

    anyway enjoy!

    Regards

    Paul

    Technically, the bar is not over 130 yrs old. It dates from 1897 or just after, when, in honor of the centennial of the birth of Kaiser Wilhelm I, the Centenary Medal was issued to all active military personnel and veterans of the Wars of Unification. The other medals themselves, though, were probably the soldier's earlier issued ones newly mounted with the Centenary.

    Nothing not to like. As you note, a lot of history and in great condition.

    To keep it going:

    Although the mounting styles are a little different, this one mirrors yours with a twist. The Centenarmedaille and the KDM for the Franco-Prussian War, and an 1866, but from the other side. In this case, Bavaria.
