As Wild Card notes it is the House Order of the Grand Duchy or Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and is awarded in five classes. Visit Dave Danner's excellent site for more information on the order and those of the other German States. http://home.att.net/~david.danner/militaria/saxeweimar.htm

...and the flip side. Now, can anyone tell me why this particular style was favored in Wurttemburg?
-
Actually it appears to be a half height medal bar that I understand was favored by Wurttemburgers...
-
Although not technically imperial this item is mostly imperial. Is it a tall ribbon bar?
-
...and the flip side. Does anyone know why this style was favored in Wurttemburg?
-
No, it's a short medal bar favored by Wurttemburgers...

To a cop from Wurttemburg...

A simple 6 place ribbon bar but I cannot identify the ribbons in the 4th and 5th positions.

I never tire of admiring your collection, Heiko.

There must be something to this genetics business! Both you and your brother seem to have a remarkable talent for finding exceptional medal bars!
-
Good job, Otto! That's the first photo like that I've seen with someone smiling!

Rich, check with Gailen David. He has a study of those inscription templates that has spanned some twelve years and has some interesting findings that the bad guys would love to know about.

Heiko, I wish you a speedy recovery. I had no idea medal and ribbon bar collecting was a full contact sport in Germany!
-
Excellent pictures! Thanks!
-
...perhaps it was done to benefit later collectors!
-
Too cool, Heiko!

Nice cuff links and letter opener although the condor on the cufflinks looks more like a hummingbird.
-
Christophe, I really like your trap bar!

Ribbon Bars

...and you didn't go anywhere near St. Tammy! and I like the way you just slid right by the sigrunen on the LS ribbon while talking about NSDAP bars. -
Joe, I think the word you might be looking for is 'crotchety.' No cavalryman worth his oats would have a face that looked anything other than it was made of old saddle leather.

Battleship Yamato full size replica !
Bob Hunter replied to Gordon Williamson's topic in Armour, Vehicles, Ships & Aircraft
That is a spectacular effort. A full size replication would be overwhelming. -

Very nice ribbon bar and an impressive buttonhole stack.

Only recently have I begun to dabble with postcards and photos, mainly to get a better look at ribbon bars and medal bars.

Thanks, Coastie, I never knew about the bars.
