Gentlemen,

Here is a mini nc bar which I bought many years ago from George Seymour. Unfortunately, even George’s best efforts failed to identify the owner.

A ten-medal, mini, FRACK bar! It's a pity we can't find out who this guy(?) was. I would think he was really out in the social circuit with this chest apparel.

[Ulsterman]

I'd wager good money that with Lippe's rolls being worked on, the owner of that bar may be identifiable now (by certain people who have almost all the rolls being worked on). :whistle:

Surely with all these upcomming rolls this should be "easy" right? Any chance?

[Wild Card]

Thank you Gentlemen.

Here's hoping! :cheers:

Here is one that I picked up last weekend. Looks like this one was formerly of the Stogieman collection.

Ha! I have that one in my files.

As I recall RR identified it as a navy deck officer harbor beamter/engineer/ordinance type who got bumped up upon demobilization. One on 3,000 military noncom. EK2s.

There was a bunch of fantastic Kiel senior navy NCOs portraits published on the WAF @ 10 years ago wearing their newly awarded noncom Ek2s @ 1918. they were all "Ludwing Mueller, harbor engineer" or Felix Schmidt, navy architect". etc.

These are amazing. Is there a specific guide that outlines the other medals awarded by Prussia? Thanks.
