scottplen Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 heres my bavarian officer bar I believe its the last bavarian bar i have left! I figured its my keeper!
webr55 Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 hmmm... this bar raises a number of questions, most importantly: A XXIV officer's cross, but no Jubilee medal? I think this is an NCO's bar that has been monkeyed with. Maybe that should not even be Strelitz, but Schwerin...RegardsChris

scottplen Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 hellochris don't know had it for a # yrs ! and this is what came with it ! scott
Guest Rick Research Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 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.
scottplen Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 so its an enlistmans bar! sould i take off medals ? and replace them ? to show this! i got this this way along time ago!thans scott
Ulsterman Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 well, I would and be happy into the bargain, Bavarian MVOxs and officers LS medals ain't easy things to come by and will come in useful someday.
scottplen Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 hellothanks for info at this point i am going to leave it the way it is ! came that way so !!!thanks scott
webr55 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 In the interest of future collectors, I would suggest not leaving it this way. Those are all nice pieces in themselves, when separated...
scottplen Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 helloi will redo this bar like you said ! to set it right !!!!
