Beau Newman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 This little bar popped up at the SOS last week. It's an interesting combo with a Bavarian MVK, Oldenburg FA, Bremen and a couple of Turkish awards. My best guess would be a Bavarian serving in the Navy who saw some service in the Mediterranean Theater. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi, nice bar. But in my humble opinion not a Bavarian, as the EK II is first. Were he Bavarian, the Bavarian decoration were first on the bar. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 In the Imperial Navy, even a Bavarian would likely follow Prussian precedence with the EK2 first. I think he is indeed a Bavarian, and the 5th ribbon is not Turkish, but the Prinzregent-Luitpold-Medaille am Bande der Jubiläumsmedaille für die Armee.

Beau Newman Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I had considered the Bavarian Army Jubilee Medal for #5 but, I would expect to see some kind of Long Service award, as well. Besides, the green stripes look a little thin. That's why I was leaning toward the Turkish Liyakat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Navy was national... I understand. GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1905 Jubilee might be ruled out because of the lack of a Dienstauszeichnung, but the 1911 Prinzregent-Luitpold Medal on the Jubilee Medal ribbon would fit.

P.F. Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I would not rule out the 5th ribbon being for the Turkish Liakat Medal. It has a red stripe on the edge of the ribbon, which the Bavarian Jubilee Medal does not. It is more clear to be seen on the reverse of the bar.

lilnuke Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Thank you for the nice comments, it is a bar that has been in the family for a long time. Claudio, I would show the back, but it has been mounted in a display for a number of years. Edited April 1, 2018 by lilnuke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyC Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Hi, interesting document. I wonder if Hptm. Schön was active in a different (hanseatic) regiment before coming to the RIR25. He got the award during a time in which the regiment had been stationed in Metz for quite some time (from July 1915 onwards to 1917) with no real chance to do something worth being awarded the Hanseatenkreuz for. Happy Easter, GreyC Edited April 1, 2018 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Dear fellow collectors Last sunday was the Houten militaria fair in the Netherlands and I was able to buy this lovely hanseatic bar. I already framed it so there is no picture of the back most unfortenatly. I especially like the early orange ribbon on the KVK. Normally I'm not really a WW2 collector but I did not mind these two on my bar. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sftrooper86 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 A wonderful grouping I recently acquired. It is a family grouping with many documents to both husband and wife from the WW1 period thru WW2. Enjoy, Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
