Alright Saschaw, that's no problem :)

Württemberg should be wrong, but I still think the blue colour is lighter than service ribbon. Will double check later today.

... or a Württemberg Friedrich Order I guess

Hi Christophe, I'm pretty sure that one is for the Prussian Crown Order, not long service medal.

Hello Matt, thanks for your input. Can you please point out which ribbon are we talking about?

Thanks Christophe, I have no idea why it has no centenary medal. The red eagle with sworld and oakleaves should be a right guess. I found a similar example in Andrea Thies auction catalogue.

Another ribbon bar with some nice features, please feel free to share your thought, any information regarding wartime owner will be appreciated.

I think the life saving devices are hand engraved..

Thank you Christer! Here are new photos.

It seems someone have brought up disucssion about Veit's ranglist at WMA years ago: http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52082 And his report about Balkan war 1912: http://www.zeughaus-braun.de/aus-dem-balkankriege-1912-sehr-seltener-erfahrungsbericht-des-oberstleutnant-veit-damaliger-kommandeur-des-ulanen-regiments-14.html

Thank you Sandro, it's absolutely enlightening!

Hello Paul, Daniel was quite kind and given me the information. I hope I can find out more but I have no experience on researching wartime individules, please help if you have any idea. Thanks. The bar has arrived today, it looks amazing in hand and devices are extremely detailed and beautiful. I will post some more photos later.

I was told the bar belonged to Colonel Georg Veit who received 4 different Prussian + 2 Turkish awards for lifesaving. Can anyone help to find his information? Thanks.

Hello Matt, thanks for your comment. I wonder if this is according to wartime regulations?

The back

Hello everyone, I'm being offered this ribbon bar recently and I thought it is so special that it uses Rettungsmedaille ribbon for the first 3 places, and having a lot of devices on it, the last 3 positions are actually prussian Lifesaving medal, Turkish Lifesaving awards for the 1st and 2nd actions. Can anybody tell me if the combination could be possible and perhaps a wartime original? all comments are welcome, thanks.

Hi Dan, I don't know if it is appropriate to answer about the price here. I mean the guy who sold it to me is still a good person, I only wanted to know what I have got, and after all the bar is on its way back and money will be refund, good lesson is learnt.

Thank you guys for a good lesson.
