    1. The original pretty single medal bar from my collection for comparison.
    2. Hello Gentlemen! Can you help me to identify the maker of this FJO? I cant see the makers mark on the ioop, it's sewn. The order is bronze, but the crown looks like gilded silver. There is no an enamel in the central medallions. Thanks in advance
    3. The brigade was a part of 12th order of the Red Banner and order of Hmelnitsky artillery division of a breakthrough of General headquarters. The division passed a fighting way from Kursk operation to a capture of Berlin. These divisions were powerful fire units and intended for quantitative and qualitative strengthening of army artillery at break strong and deep lines of german's defense.
    4. In WWII it was 104th Prague order of Red Banner and order of Suvorov brigad of howitzer artillerye. As it often happens, the famous artillery unit which was taking part in war, was transformed further and now it is a base of storage artillery weapon, but it's kept the initial honourable name.
    5. Prague Order of the Red Banner & Order of Suvorov artillery military unit - 7019th base of storage and military technology repair. (the Siberian military district, settlement Chistie Klyuchi in 20 km from a town Shelekhov).
    6. In my opinion TWMs are identical. Differences are caused by that a pin of the second award was soldered and at heating overlays of the obverse were disconnected. Then they were soldered again but with small displacement concerning an initial position. That's why there is some differences of the obverses.
    7. Dear Gents! I need your help with this foto. What's possible to tell on this soldier? Thanks in advance!
    8. Another medal bar with a gold Sanayi medal.
    9. Dear Gents! Sometimes Turkish Gold and Silver Sanayi (industry) Medals are found in german medal bars. Is there anybody knows what the criteria were for awarding of German soldiers by Sanayi Medal in the First World War? For what merits and for what category of military men they were intended? Thanks in advance!
    10. You are 100% right: the clasp with the turkish inscription and sabers for the Sanayi Medal is mounted upside-down. But it was probably easier to mount this detail from the point of view of the medal bar-maker. And the sense of a turkish inscription was not clear for the majority of Europeans. The basic detail of this clasp probably were sabres.
    11. Many thanks, dear Gents! I like this medal bar too and now I can be completely quiet! But dear Ulsterman, why do your think that the owner was the navy? Regards, Sergio.
