Or possibly a Life Saving Ribbon of the Weimar years? http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=430635 Pierce -
Thanks Daniel! Yeh i am really glad i won it. I bought because the 5th ribbon intrigued me and i also the faded colour of the Anschluss ribbon....weird but true!! Pierce
-
Hi Kevin, This was my first thought also but upon closer inspection both ribbons are identical. The Firebrigade ribbon has quite a number of blue and white stripes....my ribbons definately have a "thick" stripe in the middle though this is hard to see due to the ribbon folds. Best regards Pierce
-
Close-up of ribbons in question: I had first thought the 5th ribbon was the Mecklenburg Cross of Merit, but it has blue lines which this ribbon does not.

Reverse

Recently won this from eBay. I cannot figure out 2 things: -What is the 5th Ribbon? (Mecklenburg?) -Why are there 2 Long service ribbons? Any help is much appreicated. Kind regards Pierce
-
The 10th ribbon on the ribbon bar does not look like a Sudetenland ribbon to me ...it looks like a plain ribbon, with no stripes etc. Maybe it denotes one of his foreign awards? It would be in a suitable place if so! Kind regards Pierce
-
Maybe not rare but certainly uncommon i think...i know i have not seen many of these mounted! "For War Merit"
-
One of my favourite medal bars in my collection....not "rare" i hear you say? Look closer...the Austrian Anschluss Medal is a rare varient. It is slightly bigger than the standard Annexation medals and is also magnetic! Pierce
-
Ah so that's what that is..Austrian Iron Crown... Thanks SPM! Pierce
-
Yes for example Friedrich, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont...note the breast star device of the House Order on his ribbon bars! Pierce
-
More great devices on this 12-place! Belonging to Colonel Wolfgang von Zeschau. If anyone has any information on him i would greatly appreciate it. Pierce

40 Year Oakleaf Wreath!

Faithful Service for 50 Years!

I haven't seen many of these West Wall ribbon devices about!
-
Nice 3-place ribbon bar....but check out the reverse...
-
Here are a few of the unusual ones in my collection. The top 2 have the Turkish/Ottoman Red Crescent Medal ribbon. The bottom bar must have belonged to a very "Civil/Political" guy! Pierce
-
Thanks for the insight Heiko and for posting your red cross medal bar. This has answered all of my questions! Best regards Pierce
-
Many thanks Heiko! I think the blue and red together look great....i knew it had to be something non-combatant! I am assuming from the bar above there are different classes of this award....and no way of knowing which class is which? Thank you Pierce
-
Gentlemen, I just got this little treasure, but i cannot determine what the first ribbon is. Can it be: -Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen Faithful Service Medal? -Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen Fire Brigade Decoration? -Schaumburg-Lippe Long Service Decoration? Or perhaps i am completely wrong! Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you Pierce
-
Matt, Here is a picture of the Hamburg Life Saving Medal. A very impressive and rare ribbon bar you have aquired. Congratulations! Kind regards Pierce
-
Not the matching medal bar Claudius but i thought i would share my only Schwarzburg item! Kind regards Pierce
-
Claudio, This is an amazing collection of items to one Officer! My congratulations to you! Best regards Pierce

Dan, I can't say i have seen this type of backing plate used for any Third Reich ribbon bars....it does look more like the type used for some 57er pieces, going off what i have in my own collection. Here is my West Wall ribbon device! Best wishes Pierce
