Ribbon Bar Ribbons: Where to find them?
Stogieman replied to filfoster's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
Good Morning, periodically ribbon and devices will show up on eBay.de Good luck with your hunt! -
Good Morning, based on precedence I would say the Albert Cross is incorrect for the bar. Being before the HK I would expect something with swords, an Albert cross or Albert Knight with swords. The Albert Cross on the bar has a reverse center I have never seen before and I am unsure as to authenticity of this piece. Having said this, the construction and precedence of the bar looks correct for post 1934 to me. An interesting combination of Austrian awards.

I previously posted this in Imperial Germany but have not received a good answer to my question yet so I thought I would try this forum. My question is, is it possible for a recipient to receive the Order of The Iron Crown mit KD but no other Austrian awards? Seems a rather high level award with nothing else? Not my bar, it’s on auction in German eBay. Thought it was worthy of discussion. The bar seems correct precedence for post 1938 wear. Yes, I see the mismatched devices on the first Bulgarian Ribbon, that doesn’t bother me as much as my question. In my opinion, the devices are all authentic. I’ve had the KD on other ribbon bars over the years.

Good Morning! I don’t recall seeing an Iron Crown ribbon on the ribbon bar with swords, on the full sized bar or individual piece, yes, but not on the miniature. With the KD on the ribbon bar I think is correct. i do agree with you that the first Bulgarian ribbon looks like mismatched devices but that doesn’t bother me as much as the only Austrian award being an Iron Crown. Seems to be a rather high level award with no other one. Not my piece, it’s on German eBay. No way to check UV and I won’t be bidding as it’s not my area of interest. I did think it worthy of discussing.
