    Hello Scott:

    Yes, such a thing is possible in particular circumstances. Regarding this particular bar, I am at a lost to explain it. I am certain that there are others here who can however.

    Specifically, I have seen groups to Gendarmerie members that had Prussian long-service awards and long-service awards for their particular state perculiar to police service.

    I believe that there are also other possiblities such as Seebatailon troops, etc.

    Best regards,

    I am pulling from memory here, but I recall seeing a photo of a railroad official with a medal bar like this-two different state Ls medals and a Centennial and maybe a KHK. In those days they seem to have worn all their medals together in uniform, so somebody who served in the Wurt. army from say 1895-1904 and then went back in @ 1914 (into a Prussian or imperial unit) and was out in 1920 may have had this bar.
