Vary nice crosses. It seems that the most crosses are from Zimmermann. Regards Alex

What Deuelle means is this letter from Immelmann to his mother where he discribed the bar. You can see that he used only the crossed swords for the HOH. Regards Alex

I don't think that Immelmann ever worn this medal bar in this combination but i don't have any doubts that it is a period bar. Originally this bar was made for 7 ribbons not for 9 and later it was enlarged You can see that all ribbons are sewn with the same wire except the last three. My oppinion is, that on the place where now the ribbon for Anhalt Friedrich cross is, once the ribbon for the Hamburg HK was. When it was expanded (nor really proffesional) the ribbons were inverted. Regards Alex

Yes i have it. I came to the same result. The last two ribbons are later Attached with a piece of cardboard. If the last ribbon should Be for the osm. War Medal it is the wrong One but makes sense. Regards Alex

To bring some life in this thread, i deceided to show this ribbon bar i own for years. This is not a common combination and i still don't know what the last ribbon is. Maybe a wrong ribbon was ussed for another decoration. Regards Alex

Possible but maybe there are more than One. Regards Alex

That means that he was awarded four times for life saving. Regards Alex

Two different Shaper versions for the Same badge. Why? Shaper use the Same tools for the badge. I don't think there are two version, Expect The Silver and the bronce Version. There are some minor difference between both. I seen several Shaper over the Years but all have the Same characteristics. Sell it to Carsten if He want it. No Need to Be discuss any more. Regards Alex

Maybe i'm wrong but from this pictures i'm not certain. Last year on a show i had a badge in my hands that looks like this and it was not a good one. Some details are diferent like known Shaper pieces. The bird, the leafs and the bow. Maybe i'm totally wrong. Better pictures will clarify all. When does Detlev approved this Badge? I never heard from Detlev for many years. Regards Alex
