    Is that a ribbon or a medal bar? I think we definitely need a photo before saying anything about that bar, because...

    ... a General in Mine Rescue Service?? And this medal behind the Hungarian?? Or is it something else?

    ... which long service medals? (WM cross 25 + WM medal 12?)

    ... Baltic Cross on a medal bar is unusual at least.

    Hi Paul

    Not mine...was just wondering if the medal bar could be ID'd as belonging to someone....it's a Maj Gen tunic supposedly

    IMHO Looks like an old Bundeswehr tunic with bits added, I will let the experts loose on the ribbon bar, but looks decidedly new

    Stumme received the 83rd Saxe-Meiningen War Honor Cross on 24 July 1915 as an Oberleutnant in Feldart Rgt 57.

    The next to last ribbon is the Bulgarian Military Merit Order-Officer, on its statute ribbon. It could also have been awarded on the generic war ribbon (pale blue with a metallic silver stripe near each edge).
