Andreas and Paul, Thank you both for your confirmation that I did put the right medal on this bar. Do either of you have any idea who this bar would be issued to? A military person seems very unlikely, perhaps a servant or good friend of a royal family? Andreas - I think you have the most unique medal bar. I have never seen a St. Michael medal with a crown and there is the 40 years of faithful civil service. I am not sure what the 2nd or 5th medal would be. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this medal bar up at last years MAX show. It was missing the middle medal. I had asked around to see what medal would go with the bar and got two answers, either an Order of the White Falcon or a Prince Luiptold medal with crown. The next show I attended I found a 1905 Price Luiptold medal with crown. I thought that since this was a Bavarian bar and there seems to be a cut at the top (where a crown or loop would be attached) of the red ribbon I thought the Prince Luiptold would be the logical choice. Can anyone please confirm this for me. Dean

Hello to everyone, I picked this up at a show in Ohio. I did not see anything I really needed or wanted at first. I did notice a Bavarian Merit medal with a crown that I did not have. I went back to the table that had the Bavarian Merit medal to look at it again. As I looked at it, I saw this Widows/Next of kin Cross of Honor. I had never seen anything like and thought it was fake at first, but decided to take a chance and buy it for $30. I showed it to a very good and knowledgeable friend and he was amazed at what I had found. It is a brooch mounted Widows/Next of kin Hindenburg Cross that measures 1 and 1/4 inches in height and 1 and 1/4 inches in width (3.2 cm by 3.2 cm). Pics are attached. Dean
