Well, it is a CROWN-order, so why shouldn't it have a crown? A red eagle order with crown and swords, and notghing else, for SWA? Possible? Common? I've also seen a biiiig ribbon bar with two Prussian "war ribbons" with crown and swords, a larger and a smaller crown, one, the larger, for Hohenzollern House order, the second one, with the minor crown, for the crown order 4th class ... And BTW, shouldn't be a REO's crown look much different? Silver, and red enemeled? PS: My device cannot be for a REO 4th class with crown and swords, as the bar is pre1897 and this order probably for 1866 - or 1870/71? as I know, in this war such awards weren't given, and the REO's crown did not yet exist!

Great decorations, great bar's at all - congratulations to all of you ... Has anyone the awarding numbers of the lady's version? I have also one of these nice crosses, and also two award documents for sisters. Only one pictured, as the other one does actually look the same (but naturally, with another name), even with the same awarding number in the left corner !!!

I'm late, but I am It's been probably the Bronze one, as the Golden one has only been awarded to about 44 princes, kings, dukes and so one, who have been at the Granddukes Jubilee Party I've only seen one real golden medal by now, some weeks ago on a bar at Thies' auction. But many officers let their Bronze medal gilt, as it looks much beter, as we can imagine

No no no, you are NOT right, IMO. I don't thin there has been a device on the last ribbon, it seems to be just a little damage. This ribbon bar matches exactly to one of my medal bars, and at least this contains: - Hohenzollern, Silberne Verdienstmedaille; - Preu?en, Kreuz f?r Kriegshilfe; - Baden, Landwehr-Dienstauszeichnung; - Preu?en, Centenarmedaille. Even if the last ribbon is not exactly the same - as we all know, there might be little discrepancies with mini ribbons (I also got a Baden WWI bar with a bavarian medal, and on the matching ribbon bar the ribbon of ottoman liakat is used) BTW: I think my medal bar is a Baden soldiers one, probably a 114er who served as Schlosswache on Burg Hohenzollern, as some of this regiment did. Belonging to the bar, there was a IX year long service bar of Baden, pre 1913 model. PPS: If the ribbon bar could be sold ....

Well, that's YOUR opinion, I think the price is normal, neither cheap nor to high - just MY opinion. The one who bought it might get happy with it ... Auction has ended and is sold to a forum's member, so might I ask if Major Uhlenhaut is the correct identification? PS: Pardon, have not been online here for a quite a long time ... PPS: The Bavarian MVO, as I know, has been awarded about 1,111times and is actually hard to get (with swords: about 26,000 - that's what S. Zimmermann told me). I'm still looking like an idiot for a fair example, not such a piece with removed swords (as the last ones offered on Ebay)

A really nice bar, like it really ... I should have kept it No no no, it's in good hands now, isn't it?

Ah ja, good to know. I Changed my avatar - have read some old postings and thought firstly - hugh, it can't be me who has postet this months ago I do not have a real Karl Friedrich by now, but only one ribbon bar - hope to change this very soon ... (some WAF members (sorry can't remember who it was) were down to five or six possible men, among these G?ring and L?rzer)

Thanks for the nice welcome, I think I'll like the MGIC ... The one for ca. 5K USD is a real (IMHO much to expensive), but the ones for 1,500.- € might not be? Would really be glad if someone offered me a original one for 1,500.- € ... Just noticed I'm using the same avatar as dave Danner does - I'll remove it ... (though I'm the Badenser, not he)
