Thank you guys! I really apricate it a lot. Is there a possibility on who bought the lot? or who has the other bar? I have his medal bar and I have a cloth DKIG and the smaller 4 place bar but it would be great to add that larger bar. 

I recently acquired this small grouping and was hoping to shed some light on who the original recipient was. As you can see in the pictures listed below he was active in ww1 and ww2 and also received a knights cross. I have no further info on this guy and was hoping to find out who he was.

Any info is greatly apricated!

best regards

Luke

Hello everyone! I'm looking for possible info on who this bar might of belonged too.  I'm hopping for a possible ID. Before I acquired this bar I remember seeing a thread with numerus pictures of high ranking officers and generals that all had a 40yr device on their ribbon bars. I'm certain I saw an officer or general wearing this same exact bar and his name was listed above but I cant seem to find the thread now.  I will list the awards down below.

EK2 1914

War Merit cross with swords 

1914-1918 Combatants cross with swords 

Silesian Eagle possibly or Hanseatic cross?

40yr long service. 

Kaiser Wilhelm century medal

If you would like better pictures of the bar, let me know and I will provide them.

Thank you for that clarification.  I'd never heard of an AEZ with Swords before so it was surprising to see such a thing on a ribbon bar.  

These bars must belong to Fregattenkapitän Emil Dohnke who was born in 1879 and entered service in 1898.  He was around 57 or 58 years old when he got his Long Service Awards but there is no indication that he ever participated in WW2. 

Thank you! 

Best regards

I was wondering if it would be possible to ID the owner of this set. The ID tag came with the set, but there's no proof that its attached to this grouping.  I will list the fallowing awards below to the best of my knowledge. 

Iron cross (2nd class)

1914-1918 cross with swords 

Prussian war effort 

Red cross 

Kaiser Wilhelm century medal?

Order of the Prussian crown 3rd class???

Order of the Red Eagle with swords ??

China Boxer 

Long service 

Long service 

Baden award?

Austrian combatants medal 1914-1918

Any information would be great. I have owned this one for a while and unfortunately haven't found anything on it. If it has a possible owner that would awesome, but we'll see. 

Thank you and best regards 

Luke. 

I appreciate the feed back on this.  Its really a bummer though as I was thinking it was attributed to Otto.  I will defiantly be asking for advice in the future before buying another named bar. I'm a young collector and when I saw that it was "attributed" to him I thought I better jump on it. I bought a 13er  from them before this one and it turned out it was not ID'd to the guy either. 

Thank you very much! 

 Here is another picture of it. I know its not as good and clear as Helmut's photo. 

Here's the back side for you guys. 

And here are some up close shots divided. Maybe that will be more helpful. 

Here are both of the pieces of paper that came with the bar. Hopefully this helps a little.  If you guys would like closes ups of the bar its self, I will be more than happy to take pictures and post them. 

Thank you! 

I will post the pictures below when I get home!

Hello! This is my first post on here so excuse me if I don't do this right.

 I actually purchased this ribbon bar from them with the hopes of it being ID'd to him. when I googled his name, nothing shows up on him. I can take pictures of the paperwork that came with the set if anyone would like to see and I can take more pictures of the ribbon bar its self if you guys would like. 

Best regards 

Luke.
