    1. Oh, I'm just searching for a White Falcon ribbon bar for Lt d R Stubgen. I know it's not his but it would look good on his tunic anyway.
    2. HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS SEARCHING STUBGEN AT THIS VERY MOMENT ABOUT TO ADD TO THIS THREAD? I'm trying to find out the awards of this man thinking he may have received a EK2 and a Saxe Ernestine
    3. I used to have a couple of good sources for Bulgarian but the supply has diminished. I've never seen a Bulgarian only bar. I thought Bulgarians mounted their medals like the Austrians.
    4. Super looking. I like what you are doing. Chris, I am on a continuous search for those bars with the bars for single medals. I collect WW1 and colonial medals and have several French uniforms. If you now of a source for period bars please let me know.
    5. I'd give my dog's left nut for one of those but the Vet already took 'm... Really, I'd like to have a nice example but I wouldn't pay premium as I know the likelyhood of buying a real one is less than 1 in a million. But. I have bad luck..
    6. Wow, that's very unusual and interesting. I've seen one in the past with a Ernestine and a St Henry medal I think and one other but no EKII. I passed because I was unsure. Yours looks well used and worth having.
    7. Rick, ain't my name on that bar for the day you, you know, pass on.... Can't take it with you and let's face it, you are getting old.
    8. Wow, that's an unsual combination. Really nice and I'll bet you have much more to offer...
    9. I have one of these but don't know the history behind it. I'll see if I can find it to see if it's exactly the same with maker marks.
    10. It is an odd looking medal... Almost as bad as many of the US medals or African medals...
    11. Why the Prussian buttons? I just don't understand. The 1916 Bavarian tunic was to use the Prussian style button as on the 1915 tunic but I've never seen a 07/10 tunic for a Bavarian using Prussian buttons. I agree, Bavarian ribbon over the Prussian plus the Bavarian Pilots Badge makes one conclude he was a Bavarian.
    12. I see it and I wonder why an NCO would have a Bavarian Pilot badge but a Prussian tunic. WHY? Is it possible for a Bavarian to wear a Prussian tunic or a Prussian to wear a Bavarian Pilot badge? What does he Kokarde look to represent on his visor cap?
    13. I'm lookinf forward to seeing how this turns out. My medals are scattered about as I received a few after my service. Oddly, I don't feel too much love for my medals like I do the ones I collect.
