Always wanted a Hohenzollern merit medal bar so here it is !!! Hope it's ok ? took a chance seem good ?

Ok thanks

Is rest of bar good though ?

Thanks they go well together!!!

Ok thanks I figured they seem to be a mine field !!!! what about rest of bar ?

Good ??? Not sure of battle clasps

Could not resist this knights cross 2cl with Swords to go with his Brother in arms !! two knights of Baden !

I don't know ? Is second ribbon correct for cross ?

Thoughts ? good bad ???

Any thoughts on this one ?

Dean it looked ok to me so I took a chance On it since it was Non com Mecklenburg!! when I get it in hand I will post better pics !

I figured a long shot ! Still I love this bar ! Can't be many like it !

Any chance to ID this one ?

Thoughts on this one ? Just traded for it hope it's good ? It's on it's way to me !

Dean very cool badge !

So the Baden Order most likely pre war ? Would it be a military award or to a civilian ? Could it have been Police or medical or any type of civil servant ? also possible Army ? so pretty uncommon awarded after 1914

Does anyone have the numbers of WWI OZL 2nd class knights with OLCs ? I know with swords and OLCs about 1450 But cant find numbers W/O swords ? Could he have been in some medical field ?

Well I pulled the trigger !!! more than I wanted to spend for a restart of a collection but I figured it was a one not to pass up and it was from a trusted forum member ! Baden lion Order and non com my two favorite thinks !!! And no Hindenburg cross !!

Hello Refreshing OLD thread ! What are your thoughts on this bar ?? Possible combo ??? Would a Hanseatic sta te be considered Foreigner ? I don't believe Oldenburg would be ?? I get confused with these Krieger merit medals !!! also just got back into bars and trying to only pic up out of ordinary bars ? worth a pick up ?? or pass ?

A bit better pic

ok how about this one sorry for crappy pics !! best I could get !! does EK2 Seem ok ? original bar ? I am kind of between collections tired of us medals and going back to bars but been gone long time !!! and am gun shy with 1870!!

Guess I will pass over what I want spend and not sure of Oldenburg piece !

I can get it for $780 shipped ? too much ?? but if Oldenburg piece is not good ?

Its been years since I purchased a bar and am thinking to jumping in again ??? Thoughts on this bar original ? Value its priced 695 British pounds ? I kind of like the combo a bit of all ? does it make sense red eagle 1st ? Oldenburg war cross next ?

you posted info and picture after I sold item so nothing you posted drove up cost of item ! if you want to blame collectors for your lost history go ahead ! this changed many hands before I received it! who is rightful owner ? a great nephew ??? a cousin 2X removed no most likely the family member who sold it !! So I sell my grandparents couch and a few months later my 2nd cousin remembers hey i loved that couch I better go get it !! give it back to me !! don't care what you paid for it I sat on I when I was 3 give me It back. same thing Again I was willing to help you ! what I buy sell trade is my business what I paid or sold it for my business ! not yours or anyone else . you come to this forum seeking help then lash out ! you ask me about ethics yet you think nothing of judging collectors by your ideas and something you read on another website about engraved medals. You asked my help I began to search for buyer to connect you with him and then you assault me and other collectors. I have family medals missing I have been searching for what ever reason were sold or lost what ever ? I started collecting medals to find mine so they don't end up forgotten I am not rich so sometimes I sell sometimes I trade . I hope if I ever find my families items I will treat who ever has them better than what you have ! I would buy them back or work something out I would not judge a collector or dealer or whoever bottom line I would not DISREPECT someone who contacted me right away and offered to help me search . HOPE YOU LUCK !!! RESPECT ME I WILL RESPECT YOU !
