New toy at home...

[Douglas Jr.]

Hi folks,

Here is my latest medal bar. It arrived at home last week. It is a Bavarian Junior Officer medal bar marked DRGM (with matching ribbon bar) with the Military Merit Order of 2nd Class with swords - something that I was looking for . The bar brings the following awards:

- Iron Cross 2nd Class (1914)

- Bavarian Military Merit Order 2nd Class with Swords

- Cross of Honor for Fighters 1914-1918

- Bavaria 12 years Military Service Medal (correct me if I?m wrong...)

- Tyrol WWI Commemorative Medal.

Hope you enjoy it.

Douglas.

Always nice to have the ribbon bar and medal bar together! That way there can be no doubt.

If I may post a little correction. It is the Bavarian Military Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords. Nice bar!

Jens,

Thanks for correct me! I had checked the name on "der rittmeister" site, but it seems that it is not correct!

All the best,

Douglas.

Another correction, it is "Der Expensivemeister".

[Douglas Jr.]

Oh yes!

You can sure say so!

Douglas.

A good key is the enamel....... The Cross does not have enameled arms of the patee cross. The MMO always has enameled arms.

Cross= "Other Ranks"

Order= "Commissioned Officer"
