ItemCo16527 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I've had this medal bar in my collection for a dozen or so years, and never thought it possible to ID the recipient. However, after checking out some of the threads here, I saw that it might be possible to ID the soldier who wore them using old medal rolls and such. I know it's quite a long shot, but is there any chance at all of finding out who he was? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!Front:Back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinpon590 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Hello !Humm... All these orders are commons... I think it will be impossible to identify the receiver... Wait after Rick, but I'm pessimist. :cheers: Edited May 21, 2009 by pinpon590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Too common and not enough to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Alas yes. It's simply a VERY nice quartet, probably to an officer, but since all of these were given to any rank, even that can't be determined. Sometimes we just have to settle for :love: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Your Oldenburg FA cross II class is non-magnetic tombak, not common piece.Hard to find these days Nice Bar, with combination of a Hanseatic cross and Oldenburg, I saw a lot of Navy guys receiving such Medal Bars, if this says something to you...

ItemCo16527 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thank you for your thoughts, guys. I figured the recipient probably wouldn't be able to be identified, but I thought I'd try just in case. Emanuel, that narrows it down a bit. Is there a specific time frame the non-magnetic type FA crosses were manufactured, or were they made at the same time as the magnetic types?

ItemCo16527 Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Thank you for the information, Emanuel. I'm far from being an expert, so I had no idea there were different types of the FA Cross. As the age-old saying goes: you learn something new every day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
