Wurt. medal bar

I like it what are your thoughts ???

An enlisted LS medal with a 1st Class Knight seems a bit odd.

Why enlisted man? LD2s were given to officers, too.

Nice one!

I think its a reserve LS award ? i believe an officier in reserve would recieve it? How rare is 1st class? I have seen lower grade often not the 1st class!

Yes, that's what I said.

How rare is 1st class? I have seen lower grade often not the 1st class!

Any Württemberg Reserve/Landwehr long service award 1st class is rare as hens teath, especially the cross issued up to 1891.

I guess you see this about twice in a collector's life, while the following cross is pretty common - to be seen about ten times in the same time. :whistle:

[scottplen]

what would a guess on price for this one??? I think the knights 1st class awarded about 1800 X during WWI

[VtwinVince]

I would guess about 600-700.00 for this group. It almost looks like the LSM was added later to the spange.

Actually, I think the Hindy was added to the bar, pushing the LS medal outward.
