Imperial Ribbon Bar with one unknown-Romanian?

[jhodgson]

I picked this up very cheap. The black ribbon second from the right appears to be the 25 year Fire sevice medal or? but what is the centeral award? The only thing I found close was the Medal for Basarabia and Bucovina. I suppose there is a chance this is all put together but for 25 US it would seem odd- So EK, Kyffh?ufer, ? , and ? Austrian.

Thanks

I think its an imperial german regimental ribbon

2nd one is the Kyh?userbund Medal and the 3rd one (memory fades) is I think a "Treu dem Bataillon" ribbon for generic crosses that were bought for regiments or battalions and had little brass bars with the actual unit on the full sized ribbon.

Classic circa 1930 "vanity padding" ribbon bar. :cheers:

Thanks, so the Austrian award on the ends fits as well and the second to last is Prussian Feurerwehr service not or Freikorps or something else? I think the man with the beer in his hand is a good depiction of this Gent if so.

Thanks, that makes sense with the other ones.
