Biker Nazi Outlaw 02

pinned into his leather coat next to two Nazi lapel pins (and note the S.A. rally tinnie next to his 1914 Iron Cross 1st Class and 1918 Wound Badge in the full sized photo) are a 9 over a 4 ribbon bar:

1) Saxon Saint Henry Order Silver Medal (2nd highest bravery award a Saxon enlisted man could get)
2) Saxon Friedrich August Medal
3) Prussian Iron Cross 2nd Class 1914 (with that mini device the Saxons could never get enough of) and...

SIX 1920s veterans vanity self-purchase organizational medals. The 3rd one along

6) with the round wreath and single swords is for combatants in the German "Ehrenlegion."
7) is the nice looking vanity Cross "for German Honor in the East" for Russian Front veterans

while on the second row of four ribbons

1) is the Hungarian WW1 Commemorative medal for combatnats-- the only official NATIONAL award of Leather-Arnold's last 10 awards and the only one that would be allowed for wear after 1935.
3) "Treu dem Regiment" generic crosses which were ordered with custom-made bars bearing the man's [preferred unit he served in during WW1

"Rules? I doan haftu follow no steenken riules!" not because he is a Nazi, but because the Weimar Republic had NONE.

"Anything goes" was the motto of the times-- and this leather-and-excess is a fabulous example of that time and place!
