hipnos Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Just to let you all know that Micha (Motorhead) has joined the team to help run the Iron Cross Forums. Somebody can "Read" this Mark on the ring of this EK2, part of a three medals bar (EK2, Wurtemberg Bravery silver and TR Merit cross w/swordsThanksMiguel
Paul R Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 That last medal is not supposed to be a War Merit Cross. Someoneplaced the wrong pendant. I think that the medal pendant is supposed to be the Kyffhauserbund medal.These medals are inexpensive to find, so it is an easy fix.

Paul R Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 1. The black center stripe is narrower and the red stripes are wider on the KVK.2. The medal bar is in the correct order if the medal was a Kyffhauserbund Medal and completely out of order if the medal was supposed to be a KVK2.3. There is no Hindenberg Cross Present, which should be on the medal bars of WW1 Veterans after 1934.

Really, I?ve always thought this one was correct , with the liitle add of the ribbon?s swords and so on...So, The Ehrenkreutz is present always , after 1934???, There you have the reverse
Kev in Deva Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Hallo hipnos Unless I am mistaken that style of thin bladed swords on the ribbon,are only given with the Combatant version of theKyffershauserbund medal as well.Kevin in Deva

Kev in Deva Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 No, this is very typical to find converted this way, usually mounted so as to hide the converted ribbon ring.as these medals originally came with a oblong ribbon Ose peculiar to the State of Baden and a devil to hang straight.Kevin in Deva
Kev in Deva Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 Another conversion in my collection:Kevin in Deva
