One of many projects now complete!

Hello Gentlemen! I received this bar from a fellow in Western Australia around 4 years ago and have been slowly but surely sourcing the correct awards to bring it back to life....

First came the easiest of the 3 - the 1870 medal, then the Saxe-Altenburg medal....and just last week from Christian (thanks mate!) came the 1870 EK2.

So here is is, back to its original form:

Good work, very nice bar, and not so common with the Altenburg medal.

Thanks for the comments guys...4 years was a long time but it certainly paid off in the end. Only one more bar to complete, then its off to the frame makers to have all my pre-1914 bars put into a nice display case. Then I can start on all the other incomplete projects I have sitting in my to-do box - i'm up to around 6 bars now waiting on their medals!

all the best
