Hello, You have got a very impressive collection. I like more particulary the St Stanislas order with X. Have you got the box to go with this medal ? Christophe

Hi, I have looked this ribbon bar carefully. I don't want to say same thing than others collectors here. It is just strange not to see peacetime saxon and others States ribbons here. Why only the long service ribbon ? Usually it should be next ribbon of the EK2. Claudius has right about the TWM, why only this one and not the others. For the moment I have found no candidate with those medals.Usualy the officer has the Merit Order. That's life ! It will interresting to know what is the result with black light. Christophe

Hi, A very interresting ribbon bar. On question, where is the centenary medal ? Strange not to see it here. I think this bar may have belonged to one Oberst or Generalmajor. The third ribbon may be the Red Eagle Order 2nd class with X and oakleaves. It may be id. Thanks for sharing it with us. Christophe
