    1. @ Veteran: all Frackspangen (medal bars for civilian attire/tuxedo) were worn like that under the label of the jacket.
    2. It's difficult to say... one of these three! There're also other bars that I am very attached, like the first ones I bought over 20 years ago... Sometimes I am very sentimental! Ciao, Claudio
    3. ... and a more rarely seen Hannover'sche maker's label: Wilhelm Wellhausen.
    4. Same Dealer for "Milit?r Effecten" (interesting German old-style spelling) but different label: Adolf V?lker in Gotha.
    5. Fahnenfabrick Mehn in Braunschweig!!! (producer of flags in Braunschweig)... interesting!
    6. A 1870-71 NCO veteran's medal bar with the VK in Silber... Medals' description: ? Preussen, Verdienstkreuz in Silber (OEK 1851) ? Preussen, DA 2. Kl. f. 12 Dienstjahre, Medaille, 2.

    7. Here's my brother's Verdienstkreuz in Gold am Einzelbandspange... Ciao, Claudio
    8. Otto Banse, Berlin... Einzelbandspange with Zentenar-Medaille... Ciao, Claudio
    9. I have got also a Ulrich's bar to show... @ Komtur: I like your civilian Tuxedo medal bar very much! Congrats...
    10. Like Rick's spange I had in my pawns - for a short time since I sent it back to the Dealer (Niemann) because I wasn't satisfied with the DA 1. Kl. which looked very doubtful - a Gante's made bar, the same "cheapo" kinda paper label with no stitching... Ciao, Claudio
    11. Wow, Andreas! That quite an unique bar... I have never seen a Verdienstkreuz WITH crown in flesh before! Ciao, Claudio

Ciao, Claudio
    13. Thanks Rick, for bringing up again this matter... The only way maybe to find which one of the two guys is the real original owner of the bar would be to find a picture with name on it. Thanks anyway!
