    Hi Scottplen,

    When you say wearers copy do you just mean a modern copy/period copy?

    Thanks for the website!cheers.gif

    I have two questions. 1st- What country is this Medal bar from? 2nd- What are the two middle crosses (Including what PLM stands for).

    Doc:

    Third Reich Germany era:

    1. Iron Cross 2nd class

    2. Prussian Military Service/Bravery cross (the highest award an enlisted man could get-the "enlisted mans' Blue Max)

    3. Oldenburg FA cross (equal of the iron cross 2nd class)

    4. Hindenburg cross with swords-for service in WW1, swords denotes saw combat: established in 1934 and awarded through 1942.

    Thanks for the ID!!! I knew the first and last and I've seen the Oldenburg FA Cross before but my memory failed me. :banger: The The Prussian Bravery cross was one that I haven't seen until now.

    I don't really care for the color or "look" of that cross. The "wearer's copy" thing with this award is a little too prevalent for my personal tastes. Having said that, the bar itself looks very well made and probably original. I'd really like to see much larger images of the bar as well as the front/back of the GMVK
