Nice piece. The frame and the inlet are looking old (or "old styled") - very nice (i don´t like old things hanging in modern frames) What do we know? -WW1: Lt. or Olt. or may be Hauptmann After 1918; Probably a Reichwehr guy. In around 1936: He served as a reactivated veteran in the Luftwaffe. In 1938: March over the border to Sudetenland (occupation tchechoslovakia) In 1939 or later: Not serving on the front, again (i guess) - only home front may be in a staff - no clasp to the IC2 1914, Ostmedaille.... - the KVK2X was also given to persons who served on the homefront (may be he got the swords for merit in cause of a bombing attack or something in that way) The bar was made in this time. i think in this time he served as a Hauptmann or Major or Oberstleutnant. (Stabsoffizier)

The first pic is too bad to say something about the decorations.

I don`t think, that this one is ready to ID. May be a Godet one and of a navy guy.

Are U sure, that this bar is a period one?

Seems to be good. But not to ID.

fantastic.

si vis pacem - para bellum. ? Nicest pistol ever.

I would say it is a WS - Wagner & Sohn piece.

It`s not only a good work - it is fantastic. I thank you for the 1000 hours of work with all the data you have. Move on, Dave and never stop .

Sometime you can find the Grubenehrenzeichen on a bar. But i have only seen a few. I don`t collect 3rd R. - but your bar looks very nice and original.

Yes, i could be Werner, but this info is not 100 % sure.

I do not like every piece, they`re selling there. But that only my opinion. Your shown piece looks good. I know it. It should be a silver gilded piece of the Münzamt Stuttgart It was produced in 1916 or later. I like the MVO also because of its Sprungring.

A MG sS Abteilung´s guy.

Hi, you can find them also in a 1st class. "we" is the only marker which made a stamp into the eyelet. As i began collecting somebody said: "we" means Weckwerth - but i do not know a Jeweller "Weckwerth". so it is still unknown.

May be a Skoda Mörser? Seems like austrians

Ich bin halt der Größte ... lach? I know, i am the chief ... lol I hope, Dr. M. is moving on of publishing data of the Landesarchiv. Wuerttemberg rules. lol.. The green paraphe on the last shown pic is from Mergenthaler

And that´s the end of the story - in 1942.

Für die Dauer des Krieges wurden fremdländische Dekorationen (aus feindlichen Staaten) üblicherweise abgelegt. Deshalb findet man auch gelegentlich Schnalle, an den z.B. russische, rumänische, italienische usw. Dekorationen fehlen. Ich finde es nur bemerkenswert, das vorliegend die Dekoration sogar während des Krieges unter Vermittlung des neutralen Spaniens an das Dt. Reich zurückgegeben wurde. Sorry, my english isn`t good enough. And here a closeup of the letter with award numbers of the Nachverleihungen after 1918. (which was new for me) And here we have a letter, which shows, that for example Johann Wagner & Sohn, Berlin also produced decorations after Nov. 1918

And here we have something special - voila: A returned decoration of a russian Großfürst - in 1916 an enermy - it returned over the spanish consulate

Here are a lot of Rückgaben of decorations of the former kingdom of Wuerttemberg https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/struktur.php?bestand=4137&sprungId=60088&letztesLimit=suchen Here some stuff of it:

A little refresh of that thread: Hello Dave? What about the Anhalt Friedrichscross (Friedrichskreuz) on green-white ribbon (for non-combatants) - (~ 1600 awards) ? I have two nice bars here, and i`d like trying to ID these ones. I am nearly sure, that both are Anhaltiner paymasters or from the Intendantur. Please, please finish the Anhalt rolls (for non-combatants). I am excited like a kid... And what about Württemberg? D a n i e l - the Wilhelmskreuz is calling :)

Cool. Thanks for sharing

? Thank you v e r y much - seems your a god of data.

Yes and as a background always use Wollstoff, Filz, Seide or Samt in black. You can also find some good cheap frames at IKEA

I think this is a non official commemorative medal.
