A rather well abused mini-EK device, and a crudely stamped silver crown and swords device.
-
A similar "bound" swords device, this time used on the Austrian Ehrenlegion decoration from the interwar period.

Bavarian MVK Crown and Swords

Now, this one is just plain funny:

The dark is probably black, maybe a very very dark forest green. I only grabbed one, but the seller had a whole box of them, most still on the cardboard backing in ones or twos. The butterscotch was evenly butterscotch on all of them, with a couple that were a hair more mustard yellow. Thanks, --Chris

Here's what little you can see of the reverse without pulling the cardboard off...

Randomly found this cockade this afternoon... Two questions - is it real, and if so, where would it be from?
-
Not to hijack the thread, but do you know what the circumstances of Niemeyer being awarded the Order of Oranje-Nassau?
-
Oh, yes - THAT policy.

...and the rear:

The latest addition to my collection, easily one of the largest non-Austrian bars that I've ever seen.

Here's my contribution:

If you got the bar at a relatively cheap price, it might be worth it just for the historical value. Certainly beats disposing of it. (Oddly enough, I'd be inclined to leave it as is as a relic, and I can't really explain why.) --Chris

I'd certainly love to see whatever you've got from that haul :-)

It would have to be this one, the second named ribbon bar in my herd - Georg K?stner, Feldintendantursekret?r and Oberleutnant d.R.

Black on a black underlay with silver single thread "V"s.
-
Unfortunately I don't have a picture, but I saw a curious shoulderboard earlier today... It looks like a standard army Leutnant shoulderboard, in terms of the basic form. All black - backing and braid alike. On the two outermost strands (for lack of a better word) are silver "V" shaped stitches, rather like what you'd see on a Sonderfuher board. ...anyone have any clue what this might be? Thanks, --Chris

A friend sent me the link to this item that's currently up for auction. Does anyone have any idea what this thing actually is?

Freikorps Ribbon Bar

Very nice! -
I don't think I have a picture of the actual medal, but I was able to find this:

I've been wrestling with the identity of the third ribbon on this bar for some time, especially after noticing that there used to be a device. I presume the combination is probably too weird to be a MMM, but I'm not sure...
-
I have what may be an example of that decoration on a ribbon bar:

It's just the flash.
