Einbauschrank Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 As a total nonexpert to medals and other honors: What's the second from the right? I found such a medal once within a bag of old coins but without the ribbon.
Noor Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 Second from right is Hindenburg cross with swords (Ehrenkreuz des Weltkrieges 1914-18). Its very common Germany 1WW commemorative cross
Einbauschrank Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 OK thanks! It looked cheap and so I thought it was some kind of replica and put it back into the bag. The coins were nice though.
Chip Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Noor,Very nice. I don't own one, just a period photo of one being worn. They are very beautiful. Maybe someday.....Chip
webr55 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Very interesting! A Red Cross decoration M37-39, not Volkspflege. Should be a doctor.Is that a dark blue backing?Chris
Stijn David Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hello, Very nice bar Timo => it seems that this was not such a fast bird (but it is a old one already) and im sure it has found a nice home Cordial greetings,
Noor Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 I hope so! Thanks again Stijn, I really appriciate your patience
Deruelle Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Very nice Noor, very nice .just for my information, is there an hallmark on SF3bX ? RegardsChristophe
Noor Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Christophe,I check it out in the evening and let you know .SF3bX? - like I understand SF means white falcon.... b-crown and X-swords.... But what about nr. 3? Class? I was sure that its Knights 2nd class. Or how this number system works.... Gro?kreuz - 1, Komturkreuz - 2, Ritterkreuz - 3 ??? Edited July 17, 2007 by Noor

Noor Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks Daniel for this information ! I will be ask in the future as well every kind a stupid questions here but its the good way to learn Imperial Germany awards and everything whats included with them! Now SF3bX make sense to me! Thanks guys!
Scott Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 That is a stunning medal bar - obviously cared for with affection for many, many years. Congratulations!Scott
Noor Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Just wondering, is there any chance to track this medal bar or not? Maybe Red Cross decoration helps?
Kev in Deva Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Hallo Noor, a very nice piece, congratulations on obtaining it Kevin in Deva. As a total nonexpert to medals and other honors: What's the second from the right? I found such a medal once within a bag of old coins but without the ribbon.Hi Einbauschrank, the Hindenberg Cross for Combatant, issued from 1934 onwards,Its issue numbers were up to 6 and a half million, which makes it a very common award.Kevin in Deva.
