    Freikorps medal bar; Real deal or not!?


    Recommended Posts

    What do you think of this medal bar?  I am newbie to Imperial and Freikorps collecting field so please excuse me if I make mistakes.

    Isn´t  Cross of Vytis on the Baltic Cross ribbon? I think  there  are not zinc variants of the Eiserne Division medal. Am I right?

    The Iron Division medal is not zinc. I'm not sure what material it is, except that it is definitely a cast of an original, as opposed to fakes cast from new dies which usually show up on the market. That is a Baltic Cross ribbon. I have strong doubts that this bar is even genuine.

    I dont like the bar, based on photos. 

    -Eiserne Division medal is cast (pointed out already)

    -the commemorative WW1 medal to the left of it looks like a modern copy as well

    What is the second medal even supposed to be?
