Greetings Andreas!
The number on Feldwebel Hermann Stude’s Georgskreuz is 29841. Thanks for asking, I am surprised that no one asked sooner.
Best wishes,

Gentlemen,
If I may. This is so hard to believe, I hesitate asking. With regard to post #45 (General’s ribbon bar), is it my aging eyes or is his collar tab on backwards! A general? really?
If it is correct, I apologize for taking your time.

Chris Boonzaier,
Thank you for raising an important point. I do believe, though, that the value of rarity has slowly become more appreciated among Imperial collectors in recent years.
Related to this is the ability to often identify to whom a medal bar was awarded; which opens the door to enhancing it’s significance. Also, in some cases - for instance the Hannover and Braunschweig Waterloo and Baden Carl Friedrich Military Merit Order medals - the medals are actually named to the recipient, again enhancing it’s significance.
Thank you again for raising this important point.

Greetings ixhs,
Back to your Henry the Lion knight 2nd class for a moment.
If it is of any help, your badge is pre Jürgens which means that it was produced prior to the change of order jeweler/supplier from Siebrecht in April of 1912. It could, of course, be a recycled piece; but personally I feel that this unlikely.

Claudio,
Without a doubt, this is one of, if not the most beautiful ribbon bars I’ve ever seen.
As they say, “Variety is the spice of life!”

Hi Wild Card,
Mine came in a similar case, but it is now widely accepted that red cases were also used.
Chris' example is just one (of very, very many according to ASI) that has come directly from family estates in a red case.
Hi Streptile,
That's good enough for me.
Incidentally, did you know that the style of case that I posted came in larger sizes for other awards?
Good to hear from you,

Your observation is correct. I am afraid that only the person who can explain this is the one who assembled it. An obvious explanation, in cases like this, would be that the proper ribbon was not available; but we know that this is not the case because, if I am not mistaken, the iron cross is mounted on that proper ribbon. So, I guess that we will never know.
Best wishes,
