Some new ribbon bars

[Wild Card]

Gentlemen,

For the benefit of the ribbon bar aficionados among us, I would like to present a couple of recently acquired bars nothing spectacular, but I like the W?rttemberg connection.

Another with what strikes me as an unusual miniature device.

Hi,

Beautiful ribbon bars. The third one with the miniature is so beautiful

I think you can find the name easily (he belonged to I.R. Nr. 126 with Grand Duc of Baden like Chief of this regiment). If I have the time this afternoon I will see.

Regards

Hi Wild Card,

I have just seen it, the third ribbon bar with BZ3X and BMV4, the ribbon of the Bavarian medal isn't the same than the miniature. This one has got swords on Bavarian ribbon. Do you think it's a mistake or not ?

Regards

Christophe

all are exquisite, but the miniature

There's a good chance at ID'ing the 4 bar with Baden OZLX and Bavarian MMO peacetime, but I couldn't find a match on a qucik flip through. The BMV is obviously a 4, but the OZL could be several classes (usually don't see mini oakleaves device even when that was the full size grade), and of course the "lone" W?rttemberg MMO is complicated by returns of Friedrichs.

maybe Daniel can sort that out from his work with W?rttemberg.

Great bars, I like expecially the set, but the MMO is war time, just wrong ribbon used. The bar and bar pin are apparently a set and the smaller one has the right ribbon ...

Thank you Gentlemen for your comments and compliments.

Deruelle, your observation is correct. I have checked as closely as possible and can say that there is absolutely no evidence of there ever having been a sword device on the Bavarian ribbon on the full size bar; but since they came together, my guess is that they belong together.

Saschaw, I am inclined to agree - ?The bar and bar pin are apparently a set and the smaller one has the right ribbon ...?

Joe Campbell, you are so right - ?good things come in small packages!? I hope to post a new arrival (small package) within the next few days.

Again, thank you all and best wishes,

Fantastic WC, especially the mini lapel stickpin bar. Only the 4th I have seen and the absolute nicest one yet!

Those are wonderful. I've been searching for over 10 years for the second one. Congrats
