Didn't know that, thanks for the info Where there any Wurttemberg units in Tirol which might explain this medal?

Hi all, I picked this group up recently. There are some interesting features - placing of the ribbons of and the lack of swords on the ww1 commemorative medals. Also, the placing of a wreath device on the Austrian commemorative medal must have been something of a personal choice or just to replace broken off swords... haven't seen this before... I've added a closeup shot of one of the enameled wreath devices - the enamelling is microscopic thin Hope you like the pictures, all comments welcome

Would be cool if a name could be found in the remaining portion of the rolls... Are the missing parts of the rolls floating around somewhere or are they really lost? I was looking thru the threads concerning the White Falcon order.... and, well this might be a long shot, but what about the guy in post 60 of this thread: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/14487-order-of-the-white-falcon/page-3?hl=+white%20+falcon Off course there still remains the question of the uniqueness of the combination...

Hi all, This one came in today. Any thoughts about identification? Could the White Falcon and the Silesian Eagle be a unique combination? Regards, Peter

Dave, Thanks

The smallest one is already in my hands, the larger one is on its way to my place...

Hi all, Any thoughts on identification of these bars? Regards, Peter

Thanks for the link to the WAF discussion

Hi all, thanks for the replies I've taken an extra look but can't find any extra puncture holes...

Hi all, Received this one lately. It's pretty worn and must have had quite a rough live. The blue's and white's have all faded to an even colour. All the parts are UV negative. The SS devise is a bit loose so I was able to make a photo of the ribbon colour behind the device - the ribbon has less faded behind the device than the rest showing remains of the original colour, matching the contours of the device - also the device has left an imprint in the cloth. Opinions? Regards, Peter

The eagles head looks to be a multipart device - there's a metal base over which the bakelite layer is moulded. Its doesn't look te be a fieldmade one - it would have been a much cruder design when made in the field....

In all the years I've been collecting this is the first one for me so would be cool to see more examples. If anyone as any photo's of these, please post

Hi Claudio, Thanks for your reply. My first thoughts were also towards an original Godet bar, but you can never be to sure on these pieces. Thanks for the confirmation It would be cool though if someone could dig out a photo with the bar in wear Regards, Peter

Hi all, This medalbar came in today. Any thoughts on this one? Identification would be a blast but I don't think that's gonna happen... or a photo with the bar in wear has to pop up somewhere... Any information is welcome. Regards, Peter

Hi all, This one came in recently from emedals. It's a nice tombak recon clasp with unusual eagle's head in bakelite-like material. Can't seem to remember seeing any similar pieces with bakelite parts. Does anyone have any information concerning similar pieces and/or the use of bakelite parts in clasps and badges? Regards, Peter

i'm as always impressed by the results This is gonna need some more digging maybe the NSDAP membership list could be of help in this one...

Yeah it definately is one of the worst I own I've added a detailimage from the back, the NSDAP award is clearer from the back, looks more chocolate brown and has the double white stripes, one of which is being overlapped.... Any chance of narrowing down the search?

Hi all, Received this nice Saxon ribbon bar set this week. Pretty beatup set, but still attached to another EK2 War Merit Cross Eastern front medal Saxony Civil Merit Order Saxony Order of Albert Bayern Order of Military Merit Austria Military Merit Cross Hindenburg cross NSDAP Long Service Award Sudetenland medal Westwall medal Pro Deo Et Patria medal Any thoughts on the wearer? Regards, Peter

Hi all, Picked up these 2 ribbon bars recently. Although I'm not familiar with Romanian ribbon bars they look good to me. Any thoughts on these? Also, the first one with the single row looks to be the little brother of the medal bar in this topic (see post #84): http://gmic.co.uk/in... museum__st__80 Could these belong together? Regards, Peter

New information has surfaced thanks to Paul and Daniel Krause The ribbon bar (the first one) belonged to OTLaD Herbert Sander. In 1914 he was a RM with HR 11 and the ranklist shows him with the RAO4 and ÖEK3. During the war he was on the staff of KD 2 as an adjutant which makes sense as he has awards from many different German states. Attached are 2 images that were sent to me by Paul (from Daniel). The ribbon bar is his wartime ribbon bar before he was awarded the white falcon. The group of Sander was sold many years ago and must have been broken up after. The pictures confirm the identification. Does anyone know what happened to his other pieces? Regards, Peter

Paul, if you could help me out with that, that would be great

Paul, sounds inetersting. On which of the medals would the identification be possible?

There's a similar wreath device in the collectors image gallery with the ribbon bar devices gallery of RR. See: http://gmic.co.uk/in...t-monstrosity/. According to Rick this device can only be attributed to Godet...

Thanks, I'm still learning, but the feedback I get from the forum is finally paying dividend
