    Pre-WWI Imperial Trapezoid Ribbon Bar


    Recommended Posts

    A friend of mine purchased a nine-place trapezoid several yours ago and recently asked me to help him ID the ribbons.  At first glance I thought it might date to 1872 but it does not have the Franco-Prussian War ribbon.  I need some help gentlemen.  I think I have half of them figured out but  the last few are a mystery. I attach a photograph.

    Hi,

    my thoughts:

    - Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse

    - Sachsen Ehrenkreuz mit Schwertern

    - Militärehrenzeichen 2. Klasse

    - Kreuz für Kriegshilfe

    - Preußen allgemeines Ehrenzeichen

    - Braunschweig Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2. Klasse

    - Schaumburg - Lippe Kreuz für treue Dienste or Dienstauszeichnung 2.Klasse (old

    version ) depends if there is a small white centre strip or not

    - Kolonialdenkmünze

    - Kolonialauszeichnung 2. Klasse

    Kind regards
    Andreas

    Hi Gents, I think we are talking about a post 1918 NCO trapezoid ribbon bar, so a red eagle order isn´t possible.

    The last ribbon is definitely a Kolonialauszeichnung ( Löwenorden ) and not a elephant order.
