drspeck Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi all, This bar came in today. The crown on the 2nd ribbon throws you off but once you look at the back, it looks like it was replaced at some time in the past... Any thoughts on it, and on possible identification? Any help appreciated Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hunter Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Dear Peter, The second ribbon is most likely for the Hohenzollern House Order. Very nice ribbon bar you have there. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes, very nice bar. Wehrmacht Heer service, 12-17 years by 1939. Not in Reichsheer. It will be difficult, but when the new Hohenzollern HHOX comes out, maybe there is a slight chance of ID'ing him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drspeck Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks for the feedback Is there any news about the status of that new Hohenzollern HHOX? Yes, very nice bar.

Dave Danner Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I found two close matches in my notes, but each was off by one. One had the exact same combination but also had a Prussian Crown Order 4th Class. The other had the exact same combination except a Wehrmacht Dienstauszeichnung 1.Klasse (two gold eagles).

drspeck Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting .... could our guy have the bar made before being qualified to wear the dienstauszeichnung 1.Klasse?

webr55 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Interesting .... could our guy have the bar made before being qualified to wear the dienstauszeichnung 1.Klasse? No, can't be. The time frame just doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
