Motorhead Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The year is nearly over...no chance any more to get something for our collections We all have been digging for the little bits and pieces that have brought a smile on our faces.The big things,the little things,the missing piece of information that closes a gap in our knowledge.So what was your personal collecting highlight for 2007? A happy 2008 to all of you and your families-good health and good luck on all of your ways.....I will start with this little medal bar(not only iron crosses can bring a smile on my face ).Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militaria0815 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Nice bar but how fits a non-combatants iron cross to a combatants 1870/71 medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Good question-have a look here:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21739&hl=As you can see this bar had only two awards at the beginning,the 1871 medal was clearly added later.I have no idea why the owner has used a combatant medal and ribbon......Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
