An Impossible Medal Bar?!

[Komtur]

Deutelmoser on 02.10.1918 in the Staatsanzeiger with the awarding RAO3Sch gelistet.

Then the RAO3Sch could be one of these scarce pieces in silver gild or is it a pre 1916 produced and re-awarded golden cross?

Regards, Komtur.

It is a golden cross.

RAO3Sch

reads

Roter Adler Orden 3. Klasse mit Schleife

see also Andrea's very informative website under the link http://www.medalnet.net/Rote_Adler_3.htm

It was only to confirm that that officer really got the above-mentioned rarely awarded order (especially in a group like this, for an officer like Deutelmoser), which is quite extraordinary, I must say.

Thanks for the help!!! I'm trying to learn these abbreviations.
