ccj Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Cool... That's a first for me. I would think he had to be a "frontline" combatant in 1870-1 to get an EKII. I wonder what he did in WW1, he was too old to be a medic... Landwehr medical officer maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 That's a pre-World War round bronze Red Cross Medal, so this could date 1900 or so.Very unusual way to mount up the 21 years service brooch, using the ribbon but no pendant!

Chris Boonzaier Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 is that a very late 1870 cross? Looks almost LDO in size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medalnet Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Isn't the last ribbon a ribbon for something from Nassau?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Isn't the last ribbon a ribbon for something from Nassau?!The ribbon may be for the 1909 "Erinnerungsmedaille" from Nassau OR Prussian's long service award Ist class. Hard to tell on a last place in a Prussian bar - but was the Nassau medal awarded to persons who were NO former Nassauian NCOs? I think he should have the Nassau 1866 medal too, to wear the 1909 medal. I'm not sure, as both are not too common on medal bars ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 If there was a medal in the last position it must have been approx 42-44 mm in height. There is a bump under the ribbon as indicated in this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
