Hello Gentlemen! I received this bar from a fellow in Western Australia around 4 years ago and have been slowly but surely sourcing the correct awards to bring it back to life.... http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10729&st=0&p=109701&hl=jason&fromsearch=1&#entry109701

Beautiful bars guys! When they got a few extras down the line they must have thought "why throw it away it might come in handy someday!" :)

and of course the reverse

This little darling arrived on my doorstep a few weeks back, I consider it an early present from me to me (since my wife only buys me "practical" gifts like socks and cordless drills) . RAO (4th class?), 25 year DA and Centenary. A nice restoration project when I can get around to it. Merry Christmas! Jason

Gday Phil, nice to see another Aussie here in Imperial, we're few and far between! Welcome to the best Imperial forum on the 'net. cheers from Brisbane! Jason

Thanks Christian and Rick. I remember years ago a collector friend here had a non-combattants bar (pretty much destroyed) with a Philip on it, and even back then Rick mentioned the difficulty in locating one! Yep, a definite long-term project for this one. all the best Jason

My thoughts on the first 4 ribbons are Red Eagle 4th class, 25 year LS, DSWA (probably non-combattant) and of course Centenary...but the last one has me miffed. I'd appreciate any other opinions! cheers Jason

Could it be an Order of Philip? Or something else? Any help is (as always) greatly appreciated gentlemen! many thanks Jason

Here's one I got a long while back from a forum member....and I was lucky enough to find the button-hole locally! Nice makers label too. cheers Jason

.....or for this fellow too.

Another from the collection...not even an EK2 for this fellow

As common as they come... cheers Jason

Hello all, can anyone shed any light on this Prussian Landwehr DA? Is this oversized version a manufacturers variation, or perhaps a privately purchased type? I've only seen a couple around, so I'm not even sure how scarce one of these might be... Thanks! Jason

Here 'tis..... cheers Jason

Thanks Rick...it struck me as an interesting combination. Perhaps one day........ cheers Jason

Could there be any chance this ribbon bar could be indentified? Thanks! Jason

And another with both the Hamburg and Bremen Crosses cheers Jason

I recently picked up this beauty with a Hamburg Cross and a Saxon connection. Jason

Thanks guys for the opinions, very much appreciated! cheers Jason

Thanks Saschaw, thats a great start! Jason

Hi guys, got this a few days ago in the post and hoping to get a little info on it....unfortunately the first ribbon is long gone, so my questions are: Is it traceable? what do you think the first ribbon may have been? and confirmation on the decorations on the bar (I'm pretty sure about them, but second opinions always help!). There seem to be a lot of civil awards on there, so maybe a court flunky type? thanks in advance Jason

Thanks Claudio! cheers Jason

Gents, a (simple no doubt) question: what grade of the Bavarian MMC would an Unteroffizier receive? 3rd class or 2nd class? thanks! Jason
