    1. Regarding the Bulgarian ribbon- in hand, can you see the little silver flecks in the ribbon? Another option, Serbian Order of St. Sava?
    2. I still think No. 5 being the Prussian Lifesaving Medal would make more sense, given its precedence. Are the last 2 ribbons white with blue stripes, or what is the configuration here? They look identical from the photo, just one has swords.
    3. Lovely ribbon bar. No. 4 likely Prussian Crown Order/Medal. No. 6 looks like the ribbon for the Württemberg Military Merit Medal, but I would not expect to see it mounted after the 1934 Honour Cross.
    4. bolewts58 is correct- and they also seem to come on various different ribbons (again probably to signify a specific regiment). Here is the full size cross. Your miniature seems to be quite detailed.
    5. Maybe 6 & 7 could be something like this? Another option for No. 7 could be the Austrian Diamond Jubilee Medal 1908
    6. Great find! I don't think it is the Militär-Sanitäts-Orden (I don't think this came as a pin-back award). Perhaps it could be the Fürstlich Hohenzollernscher Bene Merenti?
    7. Baden Golden Wedding Anniversary Commemorative Medal. More info here: https://wawards.org/en/germany/german-empire/grand-duchy-of-baden/commemorative-medal-1906.html
    8. Seems he only mounted his Prussian decorations. The second medal is possibly the Red Eagle Order 4th Class with Swords (on same ribbon as the Iron Cross).
    9. -Honour Cross with Swords (1934) -Civilian Long Service Decoration (for 25 years, I would guess) -Italian Order of the Crown, Grand Officer Cross
    10. I can see: -Iron Cross 2nd Class -Hohenzollern House Order -Unknown -Honour Cross with Swords -Long Service -Long Service
    11. Just guessing: 1. Italian Order of SS. Maurice & Lazarus 2. Italian Order of the Crown 3. Hungarian Order of Merit 4. Yugoslav Order of St. Sava 5. Bulgarian Order of Military Merit 6. ???
    12. Neck order is the Italian Order of the Crown, Commander Cross. Also on the medal bar Anchluss Medal and Hungarian Commemorative Medal.
    13. Last two possibly: -Finnish Order of Liberty -Bulgarian Order of St. Alexander with Swords
    14. On the earlier medal bars there appears to be a Queen Victoria Golden Jubilee Medal.
    15. Here are some high resolution photos which will give you an idea of how his medal bar has progressed, and maybe help fill in some of the blanks.
