      4th class St. George cross for other ranks

      in Russia: Imperial

      Yes, I agree, position of St.George crosses in german medal bars is quite unstable :)

      Btw, I know another bar with practically the same position of St.George cross for soldiers ;)

      As for the official order - I posted it as possible and more or less realistical explanation for such position of St.George cross in this bar.

      Regards,

      Nick

      I do not understand, why a foreign award (the St Georg Cross) is not positioned at the END of a Prussian bar.

      Yes, you are correct.

       

       

      If you need to know who is the person that wears this Breast Star, simply ask.
