New Mystery Ribbon Bars

[christerd]

Hi all, theese just arrived in the mail, I have no doubt they are genuine, they look, smell and feels like old 1920s bars

But still at least one of them make me

What has this saxon soldier been awrded with and how has he mounted his awards ......

If I put the bar normally on the table then the EK is last OK, a naughty Saxon

But then the Green-White-Green-White-Green-white comes first , and what is that ! Saxon Altenburg ? Saxon DA ???

Hmmm Then a FA medal and What ??? + the EK at last place .

Or if I put the bar with preuss prec it goes EK - ??? High Saxon order - FA - ??

Please help me out of my misery What is it ?

On the Saxon ribbon bar-- each wide ribbon is partially hidden under the one to its left. The 2nd ribbon is the Saxon Ehrenkreuz=

EK2, Ehrenkreuz, FAM, Saxon Long Service. Yes indeed, naughty saxon has pout his Prussian award first.

I am not sure about the second ribbon on the Bavarian bar, because of the messy Bavarian folding. But the last ribbon is not Bulgarian-- there was a Bavarian Red Cross (not Bavarian Kingdom) award for home service during the war that used this ribbon.

Here is one (5th ribbon) from David S's collection that has the same ribbon but with black outer stripes for "outside Bavaria" wartime medical service:

THIS naughty old medical NCO is wearing his Kyffh?userbund Medal ribbon last. :banger:
