Motorhead Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 This one dropped in today-First position the 1871 campaign medal with the clasps "An der Lisaine","W?rth"und "Strassburg",the the "Felddienst-Auszeichnung"(missing),the 1897 medal and at the last position? should be a long service award...but which? there are no traces of a clasp,and for a medal it's the wrong ribbon...Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saschaw Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 There *should* actually be a sewn on pre 1913 type long service award, most likely Landwehr - but I cannot see any wholes in the ribbon?! No idea ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello Motorhead:I am guessing that this fellow had the 2nd Class Landwehr decoration. Since there is a hook on the back, it had to be one of the "fancy" enamelled types with the ring suspension. Too bad that it is gone I really like this group. The bars are really nice (and real!). These troops under v. Werder really did a lot of hard fighting.Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ah, SPM hit the point ... I forgot about those private purchase, but it's the most likeliest, for sure ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 That will take longer to complete that bar...... Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello Motorhead,While I agree with SPM, there is another possibility... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hmm...but who was awarded with the "Dienstauszeichnungskreuz" ?The owner of my medal bar was a low rank,....at the first position of your bar is a "Z?hringer L?we"...Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Is it not possible that your man also had a ?Zahringer L?we? ... around his neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 May be Sascha could give an answer here-or the Spangendetektiv! Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Of course we can never exclude something like this for sure, but this seems to be a very typical NCO/Vet bar. There's no Iron Cross, thee are no other awards. I'm pretty sure SPM is right about the Landwehr bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
