gentlemen, today I have a very interesting but confusing medal bar for you - unfortunately not on my desk, only the photo of the wearer..... look at this mounting precedence with only 2 prussian awards first (EK2 and Centenarmedal), then a saxon war aid cross followed by a Baden Z?hringer Lion with oakleaves but WITHOUT swords!!! After that a W?rtemberger, a Braunschweiger, Hamburg and Austria...last but not least a turkish Liakat that is added to the bar!!! So, in service 1897 but no long service yet...... a confusing mix of peacetime awards, non-combattant awards and combattant awards.... Please give me your comments on the bar, on the mounting of the awards and maybe you have a name for me...?!

Hi Rick, maybe my brain is a bit offline....but can you explain this for me... Do you want to say after the Anschluss it was correct to wear a real prussian / Kaiserreich combattant award AFTER an austrian ww1 rememberance medal ( that you could get with sending some nice "I want it..." words to an office...) ??? I never knew that if it is so.... Heiko

very interesting......................................................BUT............ ......................very strange combination!!! 3 (!!!) combattant awards from smaller german states (sorry Bavaria ) and NO simple prussian iron cross......... ??? Bavarian NCO Mvk and then a Baden officer cross ??? Wrong mounting...... Strange, very strange...............

in my eyes ribbon bar N?2 is not real................... too many mysterious things here.... first NO long service medal, not from ww1 or before and not from the thirties.... and this with active service in two of the flower wars AND service in the RAD (???) Then the combination of ww1 awards..... saxon war aid, Bremen and Lippe ??? I don`t like this bar.....

You are right if you follow ALL rules............ that means: wartime own state, wartime other states, wartime other countries, peacetime own state, peacetime other states, peacetime other countries.... BUT in my eyes this bar is completely correct if the owner was a proud prussian, because he mounted ALL of his prussian awards in front of anything else.....it`s ok
