Name that W?rttemberg vets decoration!

[landsknechte]

I know the ribbon in first place is something Weimar-era from W?rttemberg, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Does anyone remember what that ribbon represents, and possibly have a picture of the decoration?

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

You seem right about W?rttemberg.

I think, but i'm not sure, it is the ribbon of the Order of the W?rttemberg Crown (Orden der W?rttembergische Krone).

But, it is not Weimar republic era...

If this guess is right, here is a pic of the Order of the W?rttemberg Crown (Orden der W?rttembergische Krone), Knights's Cross with Lions (Ritterkreuz mit L?wen).

Christophe, your order is too high for this little vet bar... I think here is the right one, cross from the W?rttemberg Vet`s organization - really nice

Heiko's nailed it... The Crown Order only has two black stripes, not four.

Hi Chris,

I would agree with Heiko. Although the colors are right for a number of official W?rttemberg decorations, I am afraid that the combination of black stripes does not match up with any of them. A nice little ribbon bar nevertheless.

Best wishes,

I already have this bar, with what may just be a variant of that ribbon. Haven't found anything else even vaguely close:

He he, well seen Heiko!! I was not sure at all...

The mystery seems still total...

You should be careful buying from Christian, he has had several batches of bad ribbon bars lately.

I've had pretty good luck with his bars thus far, but I've always been very careful. Unless they've got very authentic looking wear (such as this one), I generally don't even bother. The pretty mint bars - forget it.

Thanks,
