Wild Card Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Gentlemen,Here is a medal bar and ribbon bar which I obtained about fifteen years ago. You will notice that the ribbon bar indicates an EK. Now, along with these two items came an EK first class; but there is nothing to indicate the 2nd class Ek.Is there any chance of identifying the recipient of these awards?Thank you,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks Rick for IDing the medals!!! Brunswick definately has some VERY nice medals However, it does complicate my decision about which States medals I want to collect. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Riley 1965: Outstanding bar! I think everyone on this forum would be ecstatic to have it in their collection. Great pick-up...even 15 years ago it wasn't a "common" bar. Let me know if it doesn't "fit" the medals of States you want to collect. I'll help you out. Rick: Am I right is assuming that this is a pre-wwi medal bar. All were awarded before the Great War. Later the recipient received his EK2 and updated his ribbon bar, but didn't bother with the medal bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just commenting on how much I liked it and that I'm still trying to decide which State to collect. Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
