Guest Rick Research Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Not at this point. Everything BUT the Redeemer is wartime, invisible as far as award rolls go, and there is no long service award at all. I am not sure if the Redeemer is pre-WW1 or could be--possibly more likely is, from the 1930s, since this grade was for people with status equivalent of a Captain.Sometimes you just have to settle for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 That is one attractive bar. I have not seen a Baden Kreuz f?r freiwillige Kriegshilfe, mit Eichenkranz before. How many were awarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 An absolutely bar. I knew this one before, as it came up some years ago at a German sellers homepage - and I always regreted I didn't buy - congratulations. How many were awarded?I have no numbers but it seems to be much harder to find than the one without. The version with Kranz was given for merit "im Feindesland".

Like you, I'm also not sure if the Redeemer is pre or post war, hard to tell without any backup documents. However, it's nice to have this one as there can surely be very few of these mounted on Imperial Bars sachaw, I think this bar was on Phillipp's site a few years ago.Paul, as you said, I've not seen that many of this Baden Kreuz mounted before, so again a reason for me to snag this one.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
