The wear on the Centenar medal ribbon on the second bar is much greater than that of the China medal, which seems odd.
-
Definitely a good one, I like it.

Can you post close-ups of both front and back?
-
Extremely unlikely combination, can you post photos of the bar?
-
Sascha is right, they sent you a picture of the Merit Cross with Swords of the Ernestine House Order. The medal was given to both military and civilian personnel.
-
Great photo, aside from the MC, what other medals is your grandfather wearing? Regarding the Saxon cross, these come up from time to time on German ebay, or you could look at some German dealers such as Weitze or Huesken.
-
Don, do you have possession of the medals? I would really like to see this combination. And as Sascha says, the medal was not exclusively a military award.
-
Reichsrommel.....oh ya, the schyster from China. As an FYI to all members, do not buy from this individual, as he does not back up what he sells. PM for details.
-
Well done, I've always had a soft spot for the Saxon Duchies.
-
I used to have one of those on a medal bar, they are actually not that common.
-
That is a weird one. Hard to believe that this person would get the Chilean order and only a red cross medal from Prussia?
-
Very unusual, never seen one like it, but you never know.
-
About 325.00 USD for the three, IMHO.
-
You're right, the middle bar is interesting, you don't often see the 'Seekrieg' spange on the Flandernkreuz. The next one is the 'Treu dem Regiment' cross, a veteran's award, again with a somewhat unusual clasp for torpedo boat service. Note that this is navy, so the ribbon for this one is quite different than the army awards.
-
Fantastic photo.
-
Interesting combo, what is the ribbon after the Luitpold Cross?
-
Very unusual, but possible combination. I tend to shy away from these metal-backed bars for obvious reasons.
-
Very nice, especially the aviator badges.
-
Looks like total crap to me, judging from the Oese on the MEZ.
-
I've seen those Zeppelin badges around, and have no idea if it is a genuine item. The Naval Observer badge is a piece of junk.
-
Very nice indeed.
-
I agree, unusual but possible combo, and the construction looks good.
-
I thought I was a Luddite, but you sir take the cake. LOL.

Spectacular bar, with a very early awarded HOH.
