Stefan Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) Hello!This almost looks like Jantzen's bar. Does anyone have more information about it?If I had the money I would have bought it - it looks so nice with the Finnish cross (2nd class).Cheers,Stefan Edited November 24, 2006 by Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 The original wearer was an Oberstleutnant aD, but unfortunately I do NOT remember the name that George told me. So many bars, so many years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Which Class is it? Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Which Class is it? Doc2nd class, since it has white background. The 3rd and 4th got black background, 3rd with golden cross and 4th with silver cross.I believe there are a couple of liberty crosses in the Finnish threads.1st class you had around the neck.Cheers,Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Dane Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Doesn't the yellow/red ribbon mean a civil award?And doesn't the swords mean a military award?I'm a bit confused... /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Doesn't the yellow/red ribbon mean a civil award?And doesn't the swords mean a military award?I'm a bit confused... /MikeHi Mike!Now I have found some information (http://www.samlarforum.nu/viewtopic.php?t=7432 in Swedish). In short it is like this:1918, 1939-------------1st, 2nd class: Yellow band.3rd, 4th class: Red band.1941------Red band for combat. Yellow band for other military services or civil services.If the medal is a combat award it got swords and a bow. Non-combat awards don't have swords and no bow. This is the more complicated part that I hope I have transleted correct:16.12.1940 -- 18.8.1944: 1939 received crosses shall have the 1941 bands. But 1939 crosses received before 16.12.1940 doesn't have to be changed.After 18.8.1944: All 1939 crosses shall have the 1941 bands and shall be changed.On this medal bar:* The colour is correct, since it's a 2nd class and it's from 1918.* The bow is missing, but I think that is due to unawareness or it should look like the other medal bands.Cheers,Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification...Seems to be a very complicated order /Mike Edited November 28, 2006 by Great Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
