    Thank you Christophe,

    That was quick. It's my first imperial bar so I had problems identifying that ribbon, the colours on the WEB reference was so far of I couldn't even have guessed.

    Regards

    It could be a silver Medal, silver Cross, or the Knight 2nd Class:

    Thank you Rick!

    I got myself a second Imperila bar, EK2 + ? + Hindenburg. Could the second bar be the Baden

    Milit?rischer Karl-Friedrich-Verdienstorden - Ritterkreuz and Milit?rische Karl-Friedrich-Verdienstmedaille gold or silver?

    Probably the silver medal as over 170,000 were awarded in 1914-18. It was the fifth or sixth most common German medal of the war (Iron cross 2nd=@ 5 million., KvK=@450,000, Bav. MMCs @ 385,000, Saxon FAMs. est. @ 300,000, Wurt. bravery @ 201,000, Baden silver medal=@170,000)

    Without any device that is the war ribbon for the silver Merit Medal as given to most enlisted ranks during the World War:

    It will occasionally be found--incorrectly--with a round silver wreath.

    The wartime gold medals had a round gold wreath, while the MKFVO had a green enamelled wreath device:

    Sure about that? Never seen before - usually the silver wreath indicates the silver Karl Friedrich medal.

    You're knight's bar is absolutely
