webr55 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I doubt it's Mine Rescue-probably Rumanian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi PaulNot mine...was just wondering if the medal bar could be ID'd as belonging to someone....it's a Maj Gen tunic supposedlyIMHO Looks like an old Bundeswehr tunic with bits added, I will let the experts loose on the ribbon bar, but looks decidedly new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
