    Das 5. Badische Infanterie-Regiment Nr.113 im Weltkriege 1914-18


    Recommended Posts

    Thank you so much Christophe!

    I think this bar belonged to Melchior. I bought it from an Antic dealer in Germany - and the family name Melchior was mentioned in some related, but not military items. When I looked up the name Melchior in the 1928 Rangliste - to my surprise he was awarded exactly the medals that are on this bar. Now, I learned that this combination is not uncommon - so I asked about more info on Melchior - and Rick kindly responded. Interesting is that he was not in the Ranglisten after 1928. (What happened to him?) If he passed away (died), that would explain the no existing Hindenburg-cross.

    All this is pretty circumstantial, but an interesting lead in an otherwise anonymous Medal bar.

    Regards, Hardy

    I have to say that I added the EK (like the other missing medals it just hooks in place)

    Also these items came with the bar, but I dont know if they belonged to the same person.
