speedytop Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hi,"...or is it a made up bar ."I think, that it is an arrangement, not real.The correct ranking from the left to the right is:2 1 4 3NVA VerdienstmedailleVerdienstmedaille der Kampfgruppen der ArbeiterklasseMedaille der Waffenbr?derschaftMedaille f?r ausgezeichnete Leistungen in den bewaffneten Organen des Ministeriums des InnernRegardsUwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 what does the back look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I am no expert on DDR awards, but from my experience these do not belong together. I think that this is a made up bar. The Brotherhood in Arms medals were for the regular military and border guard, as far as I know.I look forward to more input from the more experienced.

Grant Broadhurst Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I thought it might be a made up bar but why use nice early medals when there are plenty of late ones lying around Should i : 1) reassemble them in the right order and keep it as a bar 2) leave it as it is 3) split them .Here is the back > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Grant,Leaving the bar together does not make a lot of sense. Uwe has given you the correct order of precedence but would you ever really expect to see a bar like this in wear? I doubt it. You have some nice early medals there especially the Brotherhood in arms one. I'd be more inclined to rebuild the medal bar into something more logical. In the end though it will be your choice.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Broadhurst Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Right i have now split them , anybody know where i can get the pin set-ups from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Right i have now split them , anybody know where i can get the pin set-ups from ?I have never seen those offered before. I think that you might be stuck without them. That really stinks. Still, you have some nice medals there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
