Sorry, no. There's some technique that makes it impossible to safe his pictures from the site. I often tried before... =(
But why not dropping him a kind email, asking for the pictures? It might take a while untill he answers, as he's very busy man, but I don't see a reason why he should provide pictures.

Do you have acces to his online catalogue? In case you don't, I can post pictures here.
Have to agree, this is fake bar, and the MVK is played with - it used to have swords that were removed... there was just one of this type/class ever awarded!
From what I understand, Igor asks for official medals... right Igor? Do you have HuS or OEK numbers to go with?
And, have you received my request via email few days ago?
I'll gladly take a look for the pictures you need...
Have to agree, no chance for identification.
Precedence is wrong, life saving medal ranks out all other peace time awards.
I don't think this is an officer's bar due the alck of a blue long service ribbon. It's either an old NCO's with AEZ, who wore his long service brooch below the bar, or to someone who got the RAO4 as a civilian, after his military service.
No, I'm not sure. It could be both... precedence could help, if it were a pre-1935 bar. Or a long service award. Or a Bavarian jubilee medal. Without any of these, it's really hard to tell...
Officers of the active army didn't get their long service awards until they had 25 (or 24, in Bavaria) years of service, while EMs and NCOs would get their first ones after just nine years.
So, these WW1 medal bars maybe officers', or EMs' with too few service for the DAs.
It is the Prussian Crown Order Medal, which wasn't affilliated to the Prussion Royal Crown order. It wasn't part of the official prussian award system.
They were quite accurate in what to give to "their" Natives and the colonies and what not to give. He could never have received a Red Eagle or Royal Criown order, I guess.
Thanks John, that helps...
