CHRIS W Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) This is my first medal bar fron this Grand Duchy. I think the Silver General Honor Decoration is a wartime issue as it is marked 990. I have not seen these on medal bars many times.

CHRIS W Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Thanks for the comments guys. I usually would not take a bar with the back this heavily mothed but I couldn't pass on this combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Nice bar Chris! Just to keep the ball rolling I am showing you my single pieces. Edited December 19, 2005 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) First: a "argentan" (kind of white medal and silvered) piece, in my humble opinion a end 20ies-30ies medal "Spangenst?ck" or in English a second issue medal used for a court mounted bar. Note the attachment system. Edited December 19, 2005 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Second: a marked "Silber 990" piece. Edited December 19, 2005 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) Last but not least: a bronze type... in heavy "chocolate" bronze; I really do love these! Edited December 19, 2005 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hunter Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Very nice pieces Claudio. There is something special about that rich chocoloate brown finish. When done well I find it very attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
