Thanks Waldo, this is what I suspected. Do you think it should be an earlier Schnalle-type or a later medal?
-
I've swapped out the MVO, so hopefully this is a more likely combo. Any ideas on which LSD belongs? Possibly one of the small Schnallen?
-
That's great, another example of the maxim 'es ist eine kleine Welt'.
-
Wow Komtur, that is a super interesting grouping.
-
If this is the one on fleabay, that ribbon is for a commander's grade and is, I believe, a modern copy.
-
That's a great photo, and I agree, it's certainly Model.
-
Absolutely, I think staying away from crowds, especially indoors, is key.
-
Here is another Schnalle with a second class.

The difference between covid victims and WW1 gas victims is that most victims of the virus are elderly with pre-existing health issues, whilst those gassed in the great war were healthy young men. Not a useful comparison.
-
Hi Waldo, You're probably right, as the LS medal in the last position when I got the bar was from the WW1 period and only for 9 years, so I assumed it wasn't correct. The EK was on the bar.
-
That's quite a list of awards, but you usually only see him wearing the ribbon of the EK.
-
I acquired this medal bar from a fellow member many years ago, so long now that I forget his name. It was missing the MVO and had a spurious LSD in the last place, so I fitted a 1905 MVOmdK and an officer's LSD. I'm not sure if this combo is possible, but I think it's a nice looking bar.
-
What are the dimensions? Looks a bit like a converted buckle.
-
Getting back to Richthofen, many writers have claimed that he was declined for the MMJO due to being a non-Bavarian, but of course this is nonsense when one reviews other recipients.
-
Very nice items Claudio. Of course it's always depressing to see Nachlaesse being split up.
-
Very impressive Feldschnalle in great condition. I also trained as an archaeologist, so always cool to catch up on the exploits of the past.
-
No kidding, who is the recipient of that beauty?
-
Without a photo that's going to be tough, could be an unofficial item from a Schuetzenverein or the like.
-
Not sure on the maker, but clearly a high quality piece.
-
As stated on 'the other forum', I believe this is a WW1-era example.
-
You could be right, as I do not specialise in Baden.
-
Looks good except for a replaced suspension ring.

1914 EKI with Added Spikes
VtwinVince replied to Beau Newman's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Looks like an interwar piece that has been modified. -
I think you're right about the Sudetenland. Looks like a 1914 EK, a FKE and a couple of Wehrmacht LSD's as well.
-
OK, those are the ones I'm familiar with.
