I had another look at the 5th ribbon. The stripes are smaller than on the ribbon for the Bulgarian award. So it is very likely the Kriegserinnerungsabzeichen des Bayerischen Landesvereins vom Roten Kreuz.

Hi Andreas, Thanks for your reply. So I guess no ID I thought of RAD, because a lot them were Officers a.D. and the 2 blue ribbons, no idea...... Best, Nicolas

Yes, I had this thought, as well, but why would he place a foreign award before the Hindenburg? Maybe a russian order for an officer would be more plausible? Best regards, Nicolas Edit: Oh dear, I'm dumb. Indeed the last ribbon is not for a Danzig award. WOW. That is disappointing.......

Hello my friends, I just got this ribbon bar and already did a bit of research about it. I guess he was already an officer before WW1 (Centenary Medal). So maybe a Major a.D. after the war? Definitely a Doctor or someone in the Medical Branche. The Hessen-Bremen-Bayern-Danzig combination.....only a small number could have had this? The bar: EK2 KVK2 Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen (Hessen) Hanseatenkreuz (Bremen) Sanitätskreuz (Bayern) or Red Cross Decoration (Bayern) Hindenburg 25LS Officers Cross (I guess) Unknown Centenary Medal Danzig Red Cross Decoration - This is the first one I have ever encountered on a ribbon bar. Are there any other examples you know of? Best regards, Nicolas PS: I hope its ok, that I post this here, but for me it is rather a imperial research, than a third reich one.

Thank you very much. Quite rare.. Best, Nicolas

Anyone knows how many Order of Bravery 3rd Class 2nd Grade were awarded including WW1? Best regards, Nicolas

I was unsure aswell, so I passed on this one. Thanks for your opinion.

Very lovely display. Great Ribbonbars Did all the medals come with the grouping, because the Volkpflege Medal had to be given back, when a higher grade was awarded. Nicolas

Wow...So clean...incredible..amazing for a perfectionist like me...

Hi Guys, Is this ribbon bar genuine ? I know, that the Memel medal is normally behind the Sudetenlandmedal, but that could be a small period mistake. So what do you think? Edit:Sorry, just realised this is the wrong forum. I am used to post ribbon bars here. Best regards, Nicolas

I found 3 pictures of him. One with his medal bar But there is one unknown decoration to make it a perfect match. It looks like a Hohenzollern with the Peace Ribbon? It can't be him.... or did he got an upgrade to neck order? Best regards, Nicolas

http://bulgariandecorations.com/ Look here. It's the best website...

Sorry, for putting this old thread to the top, but what's about metal backings....? Where they a cheap alternative during the war or for people who had less money to spent on their ribbon bars? Regards, Nicolas

Thank you Dave. Well, I think I'll go for Barchewitz for now. Maybe more info will appear in the future.... Did both recieve EK1? Best regards, Nicolas

As promised here is the bar. A classic Godet with the famous wreath ( Note the 2 different sites). The awards: EK2 1914 Österreichisches MVK 3.Kl mit Kriegsdekoration Liakat - Medaille in Silber mit Schwertern Eiserner Halbmond Bulgarischer Ordern für Tapferkeit 3.Klasse The previous owner told me, that there are 2 possible owners of the RFK: Hauptmann Kurt Kaehne Hauptman Friedrich Barchewitz As the Reichswehr ranklist and the pre-war ranklist are useless in this case...any chance to get an exact match? Best regards, Nicolas

Dave, Thanks for your fantastic answer. Yes, the book seems good but 450€ is a bit mich for me. It seems that this Korps was smaller than I thought. As I get a ribbon bar with turkish, bulgarian and austrian awards of the RFK today this should improve the chances for an ID. Regards, Nicolas

Just discovered your website aswell. Questions about Bulgarian Awards I had for ages, got answered within a few minutes. Thanks for your great work Regards, Nicolas

Hi Heiko, Thanks for your quick answer That would also explain why they got a lot of foreign decorations..... Was it possible to see any Frontline Action as Member of this Korps?

Hello, I am looking for books or longer articles on the topic "Reitendes Feldjägerkorps". Preferably in German. Does anyone know where to find information like this, except the wikipedia article? PS: I dont understand their duties in WW1. Did they transport important post and letters to foreign countries? I heard they used the train, so no horse? Military Action? and what has the forest topic to do with it.... Sorry...so many questions..... Best regards, Nicolas

I understand! Thank you very much

Does that mean, someone who got the NSDAP LS Decoration had a full time job in a party organization like SA or NSKK, NSFK etc....?

Hm, there are definitely some bars Ive seen that are in other collections now 3 from the Seyfferth ribbon bars for example

Thanks.

Thanks Andreas! and TM2? Sorry in my Marine Ranklist these awards aren't shown Regards, Nicolas

Sorry but I dont know these HSH2b, JZ3
