Matthew,

I never seen one of those. Nice post.

Dean

A very nice medal bar! I've never seen the braunschweig cross mounted on a medal bar before.

redeagleorder,

Thank you for the nice comments. The medal is a "War Merit Cross for Women and Virgins."

Chris,

According to my research it is the 20 years of loyal a diligent service to the Chamber of Agriculture in Lower Silesia.

Gentleman,

Thank you for the information. I have no documentation on this bar. I thought maybe the 50 on Red Eagle Order was awarded in the 50th anniversary of the institution of the medal which would have been in 1901 or after. I have now learned the 50 was for years of service in the civilian sector. There is a Kaiser Centenary medal, so I thought the Red Eagle Order maybe awarded as a military decoration, but as stated above, the absence of a long service makes that improbable.

Dean

Vince,

Here it is...

Vince,

Hope these help.

Saschaw and redeagleorder,

Thank you for your comments and information.

Saschaw: I still have a question on the 50 Jubilee on the Red Eagle Order. I am assuming this was issued in 1901. What do you mean when you said "was awarded on occasion of Jubilee service"? Did the wearer of the bar still have to be in military service in 1901 to get the 50th Jubilee of the Red Eagle Order?

Dean

Hello to everyone,

I just picked this bar up over the weekend. Can someone please explain how one goes about getting the 25 year oak leave on the EK2 and the 50 on the Order of the Red Eagle?

I did not know there was a 40 year also, but it makes sense. Very nice....

Hello to everyone,

I purchased this veterans association badge today. I have seen a number of German veterans association badges, but not one for German soldiers that fought on the Eastern front (Russia). I thought it was unique and wanted to share.

Dean
