EK 1870 1870 on bar... opinions welcomed
saschaw replied to Hauptmann's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I'm curious what others will say about the EK, which might be good, I'm not sure, but: the medal bar is played with. From it's construction, it's not a 1870 bar, but post-WW1. It probably started it's life with a 1914 EK and a Hindenburg cross. -
Demir, I disagree with your last sentence. While they are not official made originals, they are not fakes. They might though be considered as copies. And yes, I love them too. I'm not sure if it is good not to show a fake. If you come to conclusion to agree with my point of view it is fake, should others not see as well, to learn from it?

It comes from the seller I assumed. Sorry, but I'm sure it is a modern forgery.

Might I ask where this came from? It may be my tired eyes, but I have a bad feeling with it... Rose is an order jeweller from Germany grand duchy Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in Schwerin.

Saw that interresting group before; pitty it got split up. I wish RR was still here to interpret it. I tend to think it might well be an officer's bar, as there is no long service award on it. An EM/NCO would get it for nine years of service, and war service counts twice. So a EM/NCO who possibly served before WW1 his usual two or three years of service and then served some years of WW1, would have gotten it - while a officer needed 25 years! An officer is more liely. None of these awards was limited to a certain rank, so no intention here. I'm having a ribon bar for years, that is that close, I have doubts it is someone else's. The WW1 awards almost match, the non-official were not allowed to be worn. Just one different ribbon, that might be a mistake... If you agree and want to re-unite at least these, please PM me. It's not a bar I cannot give away. :cheers:

It's not the Kanonier Roth's, but the (70/71) Lazarettgehilfen Röth's. He later had a pretty good court job that more than explains half of his awards: Schloss-Verwalter in Baden(-Baden). He "managed" this castle: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neues_Schloss_%28Baden-Baden%29 You won it, you said? Now did you?
