Hi everybody,
As you can probably see, I'm very new to this forum. I'm just starting out collecting imperial german medals (before I used to collect TR), and I wish to collect mostly medal bars as I feel that those really tell the story of a soldier. I am trying to learn how to learn the combinations of good medal bars, so I realise when a medal bar is good and when it is fake. Up till now I know that the order of wear is usually first war medals, then peace medals and finally foreign medals. Bearing that in mind, why is the first medal on the medal bar shown by redeagleorder the hindenburg cross? And redeagleorder, how can you tell that it is a non-combatant if, as you say, all the medals are wrong? Since I am just starting out, can anyone else tell me if there are any other things wrong with this medal bar? And is it original or not? I am asking this to see if I can use as a reference point for future purchases.
I realise this has a lot of questions for a first post, so I am very grateful to anyone who replies. I hope I haven't annoyed you!!!!!!
Thanks,
George
