A nice Lippe medal bar

[Solomon]

...and my military merit medal with swords

Greetings Solomon

I've been wrestling with the identity of the third ribbon on this bar for some time, especially after noticing that there used to be a device. I presume the combination is probably too weird to be a MMM, but I'm not sure...

Rummaging around for something else, just came across this tthread. having just finished the Lippe Detmold Honor Cross rolls--

while there were exactly 3 officers who received both an LDH3X and an LDH-OX, there were NO awards-- none-- of an Officer pinback with swords and swords above.

Just a trivial little group to add in here. (And I flipped the ribbon bar when scanning !)

Great information Rick. That makes the awards on the first medal bars quite rare as if it were not already.

And since Rick resurrected this thread, I will add a nice pre-34 fighting man bar to Ed's very clean and beautiful bar. Steve
