Claudio Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Laurentius, Thanks for showing your medal bar and welcome to this very informative and interesting forum. First of all it's quite impossible to say if this bar was really put together by a Godet bar: for sure the color of the backing (Godet used red before 1914, but a bit brighter tone of red and there always was a label with his name on such bars), the needle-catch system on the back, the fact that the EK2 1914 is not a Godet piece, are all indicators that probably this is not a Godet's bar. Furthermore the fabric on the back seems to me to be restored in a later period, but to be sure you need to put it on UV-light and check if the thread used is not post WWII. Your bar is nevertheless a nice one... enjoy it! ;-) ciao, Claudio Majors d. R. im Pio-Bat 17 Adolf Bliesener (* Duisburg 27.08.1868) Dear forumites, My latest new entry...

Claudio Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Another Godet but with the typical metal label on the back (Weimar republic era, 20ies). This bar is still unidentified. Enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-war; Centennial, Red Eagle and Saxon, then wartime; EK2, Wurttemburg and Bremen and then finally sew the whole thing together with a Weimar era Veteran's medal. That is 20-25 years representing three time periods on this medal bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Over the years alot of Collectors posted their Godet Medal Bars in this beautiful Thread. I would greatly enjoy if you would share some of your Godet Ribbon Bars now. For the start here are mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Cute ribbon bars! All Godets... the one with the blue backing and more robust needle catch Setup is earlier, maybe even late WWI. Thanks for showing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azyeoman Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 You don't often see mounted pairs like this with a tailor tag. What a well mounted group, but then it's a Godet! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi Nicolas, Here you have 3 different types of Godet's ribbon bars (Feldspangen)... Starting from the top WW2, pre WW2 after 34/35 and Weimar era (early 20ies). Enjoy! Ciao, Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Nicolas Jetzt weiß ich, wo die Vollrath Spange untergekommen ist Meinst Du etwa diese??? I didn't know the name of the recipient, but I missed to buy the medal bar on Ebay several years ago... just got the "feldspange"... do you know the history behind this bar and his original owner???

Nicolas7507 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Guys, I have short question about Godet items in general. As those were more expensive than other items, would it have been more likely, that officers purchased their stuff? For example a ribbon bar made by Godet but without any signs, that it is an officers bar. Best, Nicolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 New entry... no label on the back, but nonetheless typical early 20ies Godet medal bar. Blue backing, Landwehr staff officer (medical? Not necessarily). I was wondering if this one is ID-able... that BMVO3X and the Lippe cross combination...have a good “viewing”! cheers, C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komtur Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Very fine and I am happy, that you got this one . It was the only lot, I would be interested in, but I was saturated for this year. Because of this before the auction I only had an unsuccessful glance on the lists. But I think, the former owner of this bar should be traceable. A navy medical officer is very likely.

Claudio Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks for the kind words. Actually you are right; there weren't many other interesting bars to bid on, with exception of one that had extremely interesting pre-1870/71 combination (MEZ1+2 both first type), also if not researchable. Fortunately this was successfully acquired by another GMIC member... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
