Last one and this is ? It looks like EK II NC + ? + ? Aha ! After examing it with 15X and 25 X I see that the first one is a Bavaria MVK or MVO There is traces of blue colour in the first one / So MVK/MVO+ EK + probably a very very very bleached Bayern LS This one must have been worn for a long time Of course I checked all ribbons with UV light and it shows no sign of modern material. but the best thing is your own experience and nose They feels , smells and look like real ones. Christer

And the backside of it, could it be a strange looking Hamburg ? Hmm probably a RAO peacetime awarded, I forgot the mentioned that the bar is of the halfheight model. Christer

and here is another oddity EK + Hessen + HEK + ? I thought it was the usual Hungary war medal but there is not any sign of green in the middle at all! nope! It is just white and red stripes ? what is it Christer

And theback of theese HUGE HEK bar I cant see any lines on the NSDAP 10 Y but it is very small at the end ..... Christer

As I know you all lika to see strange and odd ribbonbars .... or I hunt for theese during night and days when I should be working and sleeping. Hmm the real reson is that I cant afford the big fancy medal bars and have to hunt theese cheap ones Now to the point ! What do I have now ? First one is one really strange one? HEK NC + Saschen EK ? + NSDAP 10Y ? I have never seen a HEK take that large place Or am I completely wrong ? Christer

Hmm , the belt looks very similar to a Swedish Officer belt from 1939, I have to take pics of mine and compare them. I?ll be back or maybe someone knows direct? Christer

:cheers: Very Nice and professional display! Now I have some new ideas I?m looking forward to more pictures of this super wall Christer

What uniform is he wearing ? Austria ? I haven?t seen a armbadge like this before Christer

:love: Ahhhh, they are soo good I could eat them! Just wonderful, I think Brunswick is the Ferrari among Imperial states Christer

:cheers: Wow Thanks Wilco! Looks like there is quite a lot of Honour crosses in the Netherlands Wonderful pics, I will update my homepage and of course give you credit when I use your pics. Best regards from the north Christer

And now I got a Document for the Gelb-Blauen Bande as well Awarded to Otto Sievers in March 1917 doc number K 1184 ( I have for a Fighter from June 1917 with nr K 2652) And now as Indiana Jones hunting for treasures I will go hunting for a first class Or if my wife find me first I will go hunting for a new vacuum cleaner He he All the best from Sweden Christer

:jumping: Great Pics Platoz !!

Aha , I bought it from a seller named " gruenauge68 " with over 3000 pos feedbacks ? Maybe he has bought it from Austria earlier? This austrian Frankenstein dealer is everyway now, and he getting better all the time. Soon we cant trust anyone or anything Maybe in a couple of years it all be like 3rd Reich stuff = 90 % fakes..... Thanks god I collect other areas also Christer

Next pic is of a Kriegsmarine officer who has U-boat experience in WW1 !! EK II , HEK and U-boat badge from WW1 and a Coastal Art badge from WW2 He looks a little bit worried, maybe he was in France , June 1944 ...... Christer

Two more photos came in to my collection yesterday. First one is a Saschen who don?t care much about the EK first rule .... I think it is a S:t Heinrich Medal first and a Friedrich Albert next before the EK in third place Any guess what regiment ? Pic taken in L?bau Christer

:jumping: Thanks Rick and Steve, mystery solved Christer

And since my Crappy Canon scanner ( yes I admit I don?t have a n Epson.....) does so BAD pics I tried to take a photo with my camera of the backs instead ( sorry to say the camera is a Canon too) Christer

And the back of the last one ! Christer

And here is the last ribbon bar , an Austrian fighter with one odd one ! Bravery + Karl truppen Kr + HEK , Long Service + Bulgaria com medal + Hungary com medal + ?? Russia ?? Hmm what could the last one be ? Christer

And the back Christer

The second one is a real mystery (at least for me) EK II (no problem) + ??? black /red/white ??? + HEK Fighter + Long service + Hungary 1914-18 + Siam Crown Order Thats an interesting combo Christer Ha, I think I got this one " ??? black /red/white ??? " With the dark blue backside it could be Freikorps Ehrhardt Marinbrigade , Willhelmshafen 1920 A sea officer ? who got a crown order from Siam ? A navy visit ? Hmmm Christer

And the backside ! At least the two first ones looks , feels and smells like orginals, the third one is of the tab back type but dosn?t look to be messed with Christer

Theese three just landed in my postbox And as always I am confused.... When you thougt you have seen everything there is always new strange combinations First out is a Non-fighting ( I think) Bayern 1905 jub ? + Preuss VerdienstKreuz + ??? + HEK NC + ? ? + Long service of some kind 3 out of six .... Help , what is it ? Christer

Wow ! Great Info Glenn, I have never heard of the 1918 K U K ranglist , Fantastic G?sta Bruzelius was in the Army reserve in 1949 and he had two daughters what I found out so far, one of them is still alive 84 years old. I will try to get more info about this Swedish Austrian fighter. Thanks for all help Christer

:jumping: Very Nice Bolgarin I wonder how rare theese are ? 473 awarded I have heard, but in the last two year I have been offered or Seen 4 documented sets for sale. I wonder of there is fake documents out there Christer
