Nice finding Claudio! Beautiful group.

I have seen this. But I have doubts about the seller. He has sold pilot badges for $150, 1870 Grand Cross of the Iron Cross for $300, etc.

This seller is known for fake items. If you check his other listings, you will see the same artificial aging of the ribbons.

Sold for 302€, three bidders.

This one is on ebay.co.uk

This is as good as I could get.

On the left side of the shield, the fine lines continue and there is not plain area. Same on the bottom, no "fence". Also beneath the cross/sword, there are horizontal lines. I will try to take more clear pictures.

First time seeing the case! 🤩

Two more bars...

Here are the details of the center.

Thanks for your comments. You are right about the ribbon differences.They also have different stripe widths. . Nice collection you have both! Especially the cased medals. Thanks for sharing!

Here is another bronze medal.

Nice medal bar Rick!

Excellent finding Alex!

The medal bar is starting to take shape. Now, for the last piece...

Medal in the correct case.

That bar with the 1870 EK2, sold for 549€.

Thanks for your comments!

If it is any of the long service award for gendarmes, then it's a very limited medal bar, even with a possible ID. According to the following information from https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/ : - 1st class cross was awarded 18 times - 2nd class medal was awarded 35 times - 3rd class medal was awarded 23 times Source: The House Order and the Portable Decorations of Honour of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg 1813-1918, by Friedhelm Beyreiß

I would have expected a Landwehr DA, but with the 25 years cross in second place and the Landwehr DA in the third.

And a case for the Sachsen Kriegsverdienstkreuz went for 258€

I am speechless over all these wonderful items!

I didn't think about this option, because with these double Oldenburg ribbons there are a few possibilities. Most likely the bar belongs to an EM/NCO, but I can't rule out an Officer as well.
