webr55 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm not yet decided on this one, but the seller, our old 'friend' thor_1918, is often questionable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev in Deva Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm not yet decided on this one, but the seller, our old 'friend' thor_1918, is often questionable!Hallo Gents,Well I could be wrong, (has happened in the past and bound to happen in the future ) but I find the way the ribbons look from the rear to be very perculiar, I would expect them all to line up, which numbers 3, 5, 6. 7. dont with 1, 2, and 4,Home made - quick fix for the seller market??Kevin in Deva.

Ulsterman Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 No REO and almost certainly a north German sailor who was in in 1897 and served through 1919? I doubt it. Although it might be a war time bar to some mid-level hero type: Kapt zS or thereaboutsI'd like to blacklight that red felt.I have doubts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Could be an extended bar. I had a quick flip through the February 1918 Marine-Stabsingenieure and couldn't find a matchbut the combination would be that level of some sort of technical officer from the combination of long service, Crown 4, the Ernestine Knight 2nd X (only given to Lieutenants, and only engineer/ordnance types had the long service, Crown 4 etc etc still at that rank) and the BMV4X given to ranks up to Captain.The problem is that Feuerwerks and so on officers fall through the cracks in the mass postwar demobilization and aren't readily "finadable" especially with such "invisible" awards as the HH.

saschaw Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The bar is in my humble opinion sewn like many other strange bars he sold and is selling in the last months (and probably WILL sell next), so I don't give it a chance, unfortunally ...

Stogieman Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ... and therein lies the rub with sellers like this. So much of what they offer is questionable, or down-right bad... that you are forced to question everything. The extended bar doesn't bother me so much. We have certainly seen no shortage of "added-in" bars over the years that it is (and will remain) a legit variation of a frygal man. However, to pay a premium from a questionable source is probably not such a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
