    1. Hi Chris, I thought the same thing and came to the same conclusion. There is nothing obvious to me
    2. Now so far its been pretty straight forward as each state had a fairly distinct design and cypher for their respective award. The questions I have at the moment pertain to the awards from the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt. Firstly, for each states a standard ribbon was used for each of the 9.12.15 year awards. For example Blue for Prussia, Blue and White for Bavaria etc. As far as I know Hesse has a Red and White ribbon. The 12 year I have has move of an orangy brown. Is this just simply faded or did Hesse have a different colour between 9 and 12yr awards? I have seen the same color on ribbonbars How can you tell the difference between a Hessen and a Prussian 9yr as I belive the are both made of Argentan and the crown and inscription appear to be the same. Are they? As a comparison I have a Hessen and Prussian 12yr. I really can't see a great difference. What are the differences between these states if any in relation to their long service awards?
    3. Hello Everyone, Having nearly finished EK equivalents for Junior Officers,I just need a Saxe-Meiningen Medaille "Für Verdienst im Krieg" mit Krone in Bronze not Zinc (Medal for Merit in War with Crown) if you have one..., I thought I would try a put together a wee collection of long service awards (not the Landwehr) from the Imperial German States. This is what I have so far...
    4. Not all of these bars will be up for sale so please don't pm me until I haved posted the sales thread.
    5. Before placing most of these bars up for sale, I would like to weed out anything that may be suspect. What is the last ribbon on 14? and 24?
