Dear Gentlemen, These two ribbon bars arrived here this week and I am very pleased with them. I do not have many ribbon bars with Schwarzburg ribbons. Do you think it is most likely that the Schwarzburg ribbon represents the Honour Cross or Medal? In your opinion, do you consider it uncommon to find a Saxon Honour Cross ribbon without swords? Kind regards Pierce

Fantastic photo, with RAOwX on white/black ribbon!! Kind regards Pierce

Dear Jock, Two nice original ribbon bars. Yes the Frontkämpfer ribbon is missing a swords device. Kind regards Pierce

Thank you for your comments. @ Streptile- a beautiful example with swords! Kind regards Pierce

Ah I know what this is!!! And it is not exactly what you would think! Nice pick-up! Pierce

Claudio, You are spoiling us once more! What fantastic items and photos. Thank you! Kind regards Pierce

A breath taking view from the castle...not to mention breath taking treasures within! Thanks for showing these Claudio! Kind regards Pierce

Gentlemen, This RAO 4. Kl. arrived with me this morning. I have taken a few photographs and would like to hear your opinion on it. I got a few opinions before buying it, all positive, and would now like to hear from all within the community. This is the first such cross I have owned with "glatte Arme". There are no maker marks and the cross came with a nice piece of original ribbon. Thank you Pierce

Great thread! I thoroughly enjoyed viewing these photos. Kind regards Pierce

Brilliant Dete!! Pierce

Some great examples Tom. Here are a few of my 'ECK' medal bars. Their style of mounting is certainly recognisable, for me anyway! Best regards Pierce

Most impressive!!

Here are his entries in the 1914 Ranklist and 1926 Honour Ranklist. Kind regards Pierce

Hi Spolei The West Wall Medal would/should be after the Long Service Decoration. This ribbon is perfectly positioned to be the Life Saving Medal. Kind regards Pierce

A great little ribbon bar there Alan! Always nice to see the Siam White Elephant ribbon! Kind regards Pierce

Hi Alan, Great ribbon bar! The last ribbon could be a few things. A shame there is no device on there to give a little clue. It could be the Italian Order of SS Maurice & Lazarus, or the Swedish Order of Vasa, or the Hungarian Order of Merit...to name a few! Kind regards Pierce

A little 5-place bar.
