Here's another that is a most interesting modern bar.

The reverse.

Here's one I rather like despite it being post war.

I'm glad you got the one and sorry you didn't get them both. Perhaps the man will part with it in the near future and you can put them together again. Was it unusual for a man to have both types of bars?

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

BTW, does anyone have any ideas as to why the recipient would have two Romanian medals. I have read that both were awarded for bravery, and that they would have been given to NCOs on down. Is that true? Without the Russian medal, would this man have been in the Balkins? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dave, I'd love to see the reverses of all six when you're able to... no rush, I'm sure I'll find a bronze WWII out there somewhere. : ) Cheers,

I think the left one is the WWII version as all the WWI bars have the thin ring suspension of the one on the right and the bar had the swords on it like the one on the left; complete with the cylindrical suspension. I've removed them so that when I find a medal like the one you have pictured on the left, I will replace it. Thanks for the pics. What I would like to know is how should the reverse look? I've seen some really thin lettering and even at angles that seems strange to me. Does anyone know what the WWII reverse should look like?

Have put the photos under new thread, TR Bar with Two Romanian Medals with Pics. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Very nicely restored. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the reverse. I like tailor's labels.

Here's the bar as promised. Could someone be specific on the differences between the WWI and WWII medal that I need to get to replace the lost one? I think, but am not sure that the WWI suspensions were more like thin rings. Am I correct? Were there different mints making them as I've also seen different "fonts" on the reverses. Lastly do I need to be concerned about fakes? Thanks in advance. All the very best, :jumping:

Hi Kev, I can't figure this out. Write me and I'll be happy to email you scans. Cheers!

They should give him one year for every medal he stole; 744 years!!!

Sorry my attachment photo didn't work. More later...

Picked up this nice Ackerman parade mounted bar with two Romanian medals locally yesterday.

Very nice little bar. Thank you for posting! :love:

It's nice to see a mounted life saving medal. Congrats.

Congratulations Tom! What a needle-in-a-haystack story. I'm happy for you!

Great bar! I've not seen the POW medal in color or on a bar. Thanks!

Wonderful bar. Thank you for sharing. It's the first time I've seen the Bavarian Merit Cross for Voluntary Nursing; the bar is great.

Hi, I'm looking for a Shwarzburg medal mounted on a bar. If anyone knows of one for sale, please let me know. Cheers,

A very neglected historical area with some very nice medals. Thank you for posting these.

A truly wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing.

The article is a very interesting read. Thanks
