The Centenary Medal was also the first thing I noticed, it should be the last medal on the bar. I agree with Streptile.
Plus the setup looks modern made and sloppy. I agree with the previous comments that the medals and hardware of the bar are original.
Stunning crosses!
Quite interesting that at least 3 different pin setups exist of a badge awarded for so few. Of course some may be private purchase pieces, but anyway.
Really nice ones showed here.
I'll contribute too. The only miniature chain I own, but as it's Ostsee Division chain, and Ostsee Div. that is one of my main focuses, it was a must have.
It's missing the EK2-1914 mini, so the full sized one compensates the missing boy in the picture.
For the list of names, of persons awarded the award. Add Gilbert Hamilton.

Probably the only Swede to earn this award.
Beautiful collection!
The one ribbonbar which belonged to the NCO in the Sächsiches Karabiner regiment in Finland 1918, I'm not certain of this but I believe I have the matching medalbar in my possession.
I'm talking of the ribbonbar in post Nr.610.
I'm not as experienced as others here on documents.
One thing I however would like to add is that I don't believe a few Third Reich Reichsadler stamps belong in this imperial Militaerpass, besides a bit suspicious awards with their dates.
I still agree with Douglas, as I know him from another forum I know from before he is very competent with EK.
This cross is bad because none of the parts match known originals.
On originals too the frame can overlap the swastika too, I've seen it for example many times on the famous Junckers.
