Can this medal bar be identified?

[Stogieman]

How about another Bavarian? For sure with three he can be ID'd??

[Stogieman]

OK, here's three different states.... can he do it??

[Stogieman]

How about three different states??

[Stogieman]

OK, for sure this one can be figured out??

[Stogieman]

OK, OK.... maybe if we give him 4 awards to work with??

[Stogieman]

How about with these 4?? Can he do it??

[Stogieman]

I know, I know... a Prussian Lifesaving Medal... Who am I??

[Stogieman]

Maybe if we give him some orders to work with???

(Go Rick Go!)

[Stogieman]

Maybe if we add in some foreign awards??

[Stogieman]

Heh, heh, heh... how about with some civilian awards.... ??

[Stogieman]

Now this one for sure is simple.... Saxon Weimar. No worry!

[Stogieman]

OK then... maybe if we give him five awards to work with??

Uhhhhh ohhhhhh, prescription meds have worn off, I see.

For those of you still having any doubts about which is the Evil Ricky...

I rest my case.

Actually, with hope for rolls not YET available, perhaps #s 22 and 34, some day.

#36: well, out of 464 possible "Prussian" recipients of Weimar's Gold General Decoration X during the World War, only 10 had also received--and were allowed to keep-- the Silver as well.

[Stogieman]

Hmmmm, perhaps he can work his magic on this one?

[Stogieman]

I'd ask him about this one... but he already did it!

[Stogieman]

I think he tried this one... but I forget the results

[Stogieman]

I'm sorry to say I know he scanned it, but I don't think he ID'd it!

[Stogieman]

As an aside... I always advise keeping archives on zip drives or tape backup or CD-Rom. That last picture is the original scan from the seller in Germany. BOTH the twins lost an awful lot of data when we each had zipdrive self-destruction... many, many images have been lost forever.

I have had over 800 ribbon bars pass through here since the last computer failure. At least that many before and all those images are gone forever... whine, whine, whine...

[Guest Rick Research]

#41 looks familiar, but my mind is going.

#42 yes-- that was GENERAL WUZZIFACE. It's past midnight. Me go. Must do many scannings tomorr today after big yellow thing in sky come up.

[HeikoGrusdat]

Rick, just because I am a bit confused............

this last one (42) was part of my stolen collection!!!! Do you want to say it is an ACTUAL picture from a german seller now for sale or is that picture some years old????????????

Please get back to me....

[Stogieman]

Hi Heiko, that's because (like so many other pieces floating around out there)...... you bought the 2 ribbon bars and medal bar from me! The photos are the original ones from when I purchased the set.

Here's the other ribbon bar. I believe I originally purchased it from Claus Phillips, I could go back through the records in the attic and tell you when I bought it and when I sold it to you! But it will be a few more months before I am moving boxes again....

(As an aside. When Herr Phillips sold this set there were 2 additional ribbon bars that someone else had already bought before I bought the three pieces in the group!! (individually).... It was a real shock to me to find a German dealer selling a broken group that was clearly from a General Officer!)

[webr55]

I think this is Generalmajor Otto Meyer (1894-1993), officer of pioneers, DKiG 8.6.1944.

[hipnos]

I think he tried this one... but I forget the results

Excuse me lads (I?ve starry eyes after all thes bars...shinning), Why this Oldemburg order in a 7th place...Why the hanseatic cross has preference??

Thanks

Miguel

[Stogieman]

Heiko, one other possibility. I have not checked my boxes... you may have purchased it from Bob Hunter, who would have purchased it from me.

[Guest Rick Research]

Miguel-- MOST of the time, wartime awards took precedence over peacetime ones. Here are the most important rules:
