    hmmm... this bar raises a number of questions, most importantly: A XXIV officer's cross, but no Jubilee medal? :shame:

    I think this is an NCO's bar that has been monkeyed with. Maybe that should not even be Strelitz, but Schwerin...

    Regards

    This is indeed virtually certainly an NCO's bar from Bavarian Inf Rgt 21. That is always the problem with hook back bars having the awards swapped off.

    The most common--overwhelmingly so-- Mecklenburg WW1 award to Bavarians was the "MK2" given by the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin to "his" Bavarian regiment.

    No 1905 or 1911/12 Jubilee medal indicates this person was not career army in 1912, or a reserve officer commissioned before then.

    So this bar originally had some grade of the MMC, an MK2, and an enlisted man's long service award.
