Hi Hippnos,

With the BMVO4bX, this bar belonged to one officer. If we speak about BMVM, it concern NCO.

More medals is enameled, more the chance is for officer.

Your medal is for officer der Reseve (see the medal service for reserve officer).

It's a very nice Bavarian medal bar.

It can be tracable. There is so many officer (Leutnant and Oberleutnant) who potentially received this medal that he can't be tracable.

Yes.

Remember-- there are TWO versions of the oval bronze Luitpold Jubilee Medal. The 1905 issue has long lines of text on the back, while the 1911 one has a crown with 1905 (!!! ) on back. That is some clue as to when the wearer served.

But no purely Bavarian/Iron Cross group can be traced. "Everyone" had them.

The first Medal Bar with the BMVO4bX got Luitpold Jubilee medal from 1905 while the one with Bavarian 2nd class mit Krone und Schwertern has the 1915 Jubilee medal.
