Wild Card Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 And if you don't have medal bar, just wear something else there instead! :lol: :lol:
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 This was obviously just quickly hung in there for the photo... but backwards none the less....
Chris Dale Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 This is a great thread. Keep them coming! It's good to see there's people who understand the order of medals less than me.... the people who wore them! Cheers Chris
westfale Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Hi all, is it allowed to wear more than 2 bands? westfale
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I guess noone wants to tell the Major he is wrong.... Although I expect it is just after the award of the panzer badge and therefor he just hooked it on...
webr55 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Here is another interesting case. An Oberstleutnant wearing both the 25 and the 40 years civil service decoration in 1944 (only one could be worn):
Schießplatzmeister Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Hi all, is it allowed to wear more than 2 bands? westfale Hello Westfale: I don't know what the regulations stated during this time, but this was a common practice. What is interesting here is that our brave Bavarian soldier has a TKM/MVM ribbon (and also an MVK and EK ribbon)! An with the EKI too! He definitely did something rather brave in combat at some point. Do you know his name? If so, I can look up his TKM/MVM citation information. Best regards
alan_g Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Here is a medal bar with an incorrect October 1938 ribbon being used for the Romanian Crusade Against Communism medal.
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Here you go... EK2 backwards... then later on the bar, the Servive medal backwards...
Solomon Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I only have a picture from a brave Lippe-Detmold guy...maybe he was so excited because of his marriage Best regards Roman
David M Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 what is his lowest neck order? "PERFECT" BADDDDDDDDDDD bars!!!! I haven't done any MEDAL bars in the baaaaaaaaaaad original ribbon bars section because that's outside the scope of that ongoing endless work. Those are great photos of original period To have the exact medal bar that is IN a dated period photo is just I have posted this one before (I know, I know) but it is still a perfect example, too: Generalmajor Bernhard Rathgen (1847-1927) in Strassburg 1901:Rathgen_...urg_1901.jpg Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay....

seeheld Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 He mixed his Long Service Cross and the South West Africa Medal. Regards Seeheld
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 He simply had his ribbom bar on backwards.....
Leutwein Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Vzfw. Bruckner Another one who mixed his awards (MEZ 2 and South West Africa Medal). Another one who was so excited because of his marriage
Leutwein Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Also nice and interesting is the medalbar of that unknown Feldwebelleutnant.
Leutwein Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Feldwebel Handke and my last contribution is that medalbar of a high-decorated Cameroon-NCO. He´s wearing all three types of the Long Service Award. Best wishes Karsten
Dansson Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Does Julius Streicher with his 1914 EK1 tilted the 90 degrees to the side count?

spolei Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 This could be the bavarian bravery-medal. The Max-Joseph was only given to officers.
Uffz. Rohleder Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Maybe the rarest award here - the Iron cross 2nd class with swords!
webr55 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Posted September 10, 2018 Absolutely incredible! If we had this bar in hand, we would believe it was messed with!
webr55 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) New addition - an elderly Luftwaffe Oberleutnant wearing what I believe are two Treudienst Abzeichen (in Wehrmacht long service style) on his ribbon bar: (Back says "Friedrich und Grete, Juni 1941") Edited September 30, 2021 by webr55
