A new one with Baltenkreuz and Awaloff. Nicolas

I am not sure if I can agree on Riedel. If he was born on 09.12.1892 this is him: Hauptmann (E) 01.05.34 RIEDEL Erich (Adj. WBK Königsberg I) Oberstleutnant (01.01.43) The last medal on my and Daniels bar is the Medal for the Battle of Helsinki and was issued in 1938. Thus a Wehrmacht Long Service Decoration should be on the bar, too. Nicolas

Hello, Top bar is Ehrenkrook/Guenther. Lower bar is Major Willy Garten-Kraft. Kind regards, Nicolas

Another one from my collection. Same estate, I think. Nicolas

Thank you very much! Most helpful.

Hello, I am looking for any additional information about this officer. Especially a full name, birth date etc. would be great. What I have so far: Rudolph, Oberst aD * +1925 Oberstleutnant zD Char. 18.12.1913 Landwehrbezirk IV Berlin Major zD Char. 20.03.1913 Landwehrbezirk Neuß Hauptmann zD 18.03.1899 1914 RAO4 DA DD3 NO3a Thanks in advance Nicolas

Don't buy. It's a fake.

This gentleman is selling his fake bars on german forums all the time. A few pics. Be careful. I am pretty sure all of the following bars are not genuine. Please note the similarities. Nicolas More bars

Unfortunately this ribbon bar was lost during transport. If anyone sees it by chance, please contact me. Nicolas

I can offer this ribbon bar. No success with an ID yet.

Another one with Stanislaus.

Oberst Karl Albrecht, died 01.05.1942.

Very nice bar. I am pretty sure it is a second row.

This one was shown years ago on WAF. Good bar, definitely a Friedrichsorden in fourth place.

Great bar, thanks for showing!

This could be the bar of later Generalveterinär Dr. med. vet. Karl Kiesewetter. Born in Gotha, he is listed with EK2, EH3b and HT in the Reichswehr ranklists. In the 1914 ranklist no EH3b is listed yet, but he could have received it after the publication of the ranklist. Regards Nicolas

Hello, I would like to present this bar which I am trying to ID for quite some time now. I have hopes for an ID as the combination hints to a higher position during the 1930s and 40s. Potential suspects so far after my research: Generalstabsarzt Dr. Karl Kersting (1882-1968) Received EK1, RKM3, HH Retired on 31.03.1936, unsure if he received the shortly before his retirement created Wehrmacht-DAs. Inspector of the German Red Cross in Military-District X, Hamburg (01.01.1936-26.06.1939) Received KVK2X im 2.WK. Marinegeneralarzt Dr. Willi Wendtlandt (01.08.1884-) Received EK2, RKM3, HH, Chefarzt des Marinelazaretts Wilhelmshafen (1928) Maybe career in the DRK? Marine-Stabsarzt d.R. Prof Dr. Max Otten (1877-1962) Received EK2, RKM3, HH (1918) Unsure about his activies in the 1930s, famous doctor. Any help would be appreciated! Best regards Nicolas

Thank you very much, really great info. Wolfgang Freiherr von Gersdorff died in 1936. I think Mannlich-Lehmann is my favorite, but no way to be sure. Best regards Nicolas

May I ask which names you got for it? I don't own the medal bar, but this miniature chain. Like the bar, the chain is from Godet. I think they could have belonged together once, even though the wedding medal is missing. Later Generalveterinär Dr. med. vet. Paul Kämper had this combination (plus DA25). Best regards Nicolas

Hello there, I just received these three bars and wanted to show them. The combination of the biggest bar is a little bit exotic, not sure if the bar is real. Any help with the correct identification of ribbons is very welcome.

By coincidence I found this nice photo on eBay today. Possibly Major a.D. Kurt Kaehne as an Oberleutnant (?). The ribbon bar matches mine (just a different order) and the EK1 rules out Barchewitz. It was also taken in Berlin-Charlottenburg, the residence of Kaehne. Major a.D. und Oberforstmeister Kurt Kaehne * 08.04.1883 + Nacht vom 22.-23.November 1943 (Bombenangriff) 15.05.1905 Leutnant 18.09.1915 Hauptmann Major a.D. Charlottenburg, Spandauerstraße 1 Regards, Nicolas

The first hole could have been for an EK miniature even though it is in off-center position . I attached an example from my collection.

Vince is right. The order of saxon orders varies on bars. I have seen many examples of wrong orders of precedence. Look at the bars of GL Johann Pflugbeil and GM Johannes Hahn for example.
