M Hunter Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Quite a mixture of awards. What is the 8th ribbon representing? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The eight one is a British medal. I forgot the name, but I think it has something to do with a coronation/jubilee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hmmm... second to last: Greek Redeemer? last one: Russian St Anne? If ok -- it seems he chose to wear German allies first, then former enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Could this be Harry Gondi's ribbon bar? Found this photo showing Gondi wearing a long ribbon bar, also a TWM and a Silesian Eagle 1st class. Edited March 19, 2018 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dedehansen Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hi lew, I do not think that it is Gondi´s ribbon bar, he is born on 16.07.1900 and there are at least two ribbons which are not possible: blue ribbon = Dienstauszeichnung and yellow ribbon = Centenarmedaille or Baden silberne Verdienstmedaille Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I don’t recognize all the ribbons. Can someone list this awards as it’s a very interesting bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Group looks to represent Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs 1914/1918 [Hindenburg Cross], Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe [Prussian Merit Cross for War Aid], Schlesischer Adler [Silesian Eagle], Turkish Iron Halfmoon/Crescent aka Gallipoli Star, Bulgarian Civil Merit Order, Dienstauszeichnung [Prussian Long Service Cross or Medal], Kaiser-Wilhelm-Erinnerungsmedaille Zentenarmedaille [Prussian Centenary Medal] or Baden Silberne Verdienstmedaille {Thank you Andreas!}, Royal Victorian Order or Medal, Greek Order of the Redeemer and [most likely] Russian St Anne Order or Red Cross Medal. Several awards take a red with narrow yellow edge stripe ribbon including Brunswick's Henry the Lion Order but this ribbon bar arrangement makes that one unlikely. The miniatures on the bow would confirm Hindenburg Cross, Merit Cross, Silesian Eagle, Iron Halfmoon, and the Bulgarian suspension crown plus ribbon color yield a Bulgarian Civil Merit Order or Cross. This ensemble suggests military and civilian service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
