HeikoGrusdat Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) very cool bar, I have seen it on ebay, the last one (left) is the W?rttemberg Wilhelmscross for war merit but WITHOUT swords!!! Matching the other awards on the bar...Heiko Edited December 6, 2005 by HeikoGrusdat
Biro Posted December 6, 2005 Author Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks Heiko!Very quick...and a good memory. Indeed, it is the ebay bar.... (but not the one I really wanted... )Marshall

Stogieman Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Hi Marshall, yes, very nice and real bar. Typical Godet work/backing. Glad I decided not to bid at the last minute! One of us would have payed a lot more!
Paul R Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) Hi Marshall, yes, very nice and real bar. Typical Godet work/backing. Glad I decided not to bid at the last minute! One of us would have payed a lot more!I love it! I am new to Imperial so please forgive yet another simple question...Is this bar tracable because of the W?rttemberg Wilhelmscross ?Paul Edited December 6, 2005 by Paul Reck
webr55 Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 Very nice bar! If I am right, this is a long serving civil servant who also held (probably NCO) reserve status.
Guest Rick Research Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 We don't have any W?rttemberg rolls published! Which is too bad, since at under 2,000 awarded, a civilian War Merit Wilhelmskreuz like this compares readily in rarity to alllllll sorts of things that "demand" pays much more for-- despite being a lot more (sniff) common. (All that glisters in Imperial is NOT ... gold. ) This guy was obviously a Prussian national, making the Wilhelmskreuz even more unusual as a non-native's award.As Consolation Prizes go, I'd say your second choice medal bar is spectacular!!!
Biro Posted December 7, 2005 Author Posted December 7, 2005 Thank you all for the comments and the help ID'ing the Wilhelmskreuz...I appreciate it! Marshall
