Jason Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Hello GentsI saw this bar around 7 years ago, and I have finally been able to photograph it. Since I have never seen an 1870 bar with an EK2 "in the flesh" down under some opinions on the bar as a whole would be really appreciated. I'm not entirely sure if 2 long service awards are legit on a bar of this age. Thanks in advance!Jason Edited August 16, 2006 by Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Jason,i like it. I think, the two LS-awards aren?t a problem in this case, as it was probably an Enlisted Rank(15year-cross), which became an Officer(25 year cross) later and just decided to wear both of his LS-awards, i guess.The Crown-Order is definately an old one (small crown) and the awards and bars on the bar are all real in my opinion. The construction of the bar looks very good too.Lets see, what the others say...best,Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 but if he started in 1866 mustn`t it be the "old type" long service clasp for the breast and not the 15y service cross which came up much later..........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 and not to forget, I am not shure about the combination of the battle clasps... seems to be impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) Gentlemen, The piece looks very good to me. Nice Godet short 7 EK2. I thought the m,ker would be Godet, but still very nice. The LS crosses were just updeted since I9I3. Looks like good old piece to vet still living until WWI. D.

webr55 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I am with Heiko on this one. Also, why are some pieces quite worn, but the KDM 70/71 so shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 BTW, an up-through-the-ranks would in most cases also have got a General Honor Decoration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
