Wild Card Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 To be a little more specific Andy, the second medal is the Prussian long service decoration 2nd class, awarded from 1913 -1920 for twelve years service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 And to be more precise:the document to the doctor has nothing to do with the medal bar. If it is being offered as a set, it is not.That is also NOT a Prussian XII Years NCOs' long service medal hanging on the Prussian long service awards ribbon: the incorrectly attached medal is from W?rttemberg.THIS in last place is a Prussian XII:[attachmentid=54366]It may also just be the distorted colors of the scans, but the non combatant Iron Cross ribbon appears to be implausibly vividly minty fresh and is, if you blacklight it, I suspect a modern synthetic the white of which will glow a vivid electric blue.

Tom Y Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Just for the record, here's the W?rttemberg 9 Year DA on the correct, albeit modern, ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post the last picture, which you posted on the other forum too and i guess, everyone will agree, that the EK on non-combattant ribbon was added at a later point.Btw, 160 British Pounds is insane Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
