Medal bar with foreign awards

[Laurens Q]

It took me some time to find this older thread, but the same bar turned up in another forum and I only have eyes for the Jerusalem cross (if real, one of the most beautiful awards ever made imho )

I've read this thread twice, and I follow Sascha in his concern. To me, this is a fantasy piece and not a genuine cross. I cannot call myself proud owner of a Jerusalem cross, but I fail to find similarities with other examples in literature, from other collectors or period photos. The loop and the (heart-shaped) attachement to the cross, the thick outlines to the enamel, the shape of the four smaller crosses in the corners and the awkward position of the center medallions are very uncommon.

A very nice bar to say the least, but such a strange Jerusalem cross attached to it...

Ps: I'm looking at the cross only and not at its position. I'm not yet able to read bars...

The Jerusalem Cross is a very nice piece of jewelry, but not a genuine one. And I don?t think it belong to this bar.

It should look like this.
