Hi Scottplen, When you say wearers copy do you just mean a modern copy/period copy? Thanks for the website! Regards Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I have seen this medal bar for sale. Is the enlisted mens PLM an original? Where these usually mounted on the medal bar? Thanks Matt I have two questions. 1st- What country is this Medal bar from? 2nd- What are the two middle crosses (Including what PLM stands for).

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

Stogieman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
