Three place ribbon bar, what's your opinion?

[Brian Wolfe]

Hello Everyone.

While out on a rainy Saturday venture to the Fabric Store with my wife we stopped in at a local Antiques Mall to have a look around. At this particular mall there is a dealer who usually has prices around 50% over market but once in a while he will hide a reasonably priced little gem among the over priced items. At times there is even a deal in his display case. I think it is done to keep you coming back to check out his wares.

This little three place ribbon bar caught my eye and the price was also attractive so I purchased it.

I believe the ribbons are: Prussian Iron Cross, Bavarian Order of Military Merit with Swords and the Honour Cross. I am going by a ribbon chart on a ribbon dealer's web site regarding the Military Merit ribbon. I've purchased from this ribbon dealer before and I think he is accurate with his chart.

What do the members think about the middle ribbon? Am I correct?

Thanks for your assistance, it is always appreciated.

Regards

Brian

Here is the view of the back. It is intact and I'm pretty sure an original Imperial German artifact.

Thanks again for your direction.

Hi Brian,

for shure bavaria , either it is the military merit order (MVO) for officers or the military merit cross (for soldiers + nco) - the ribbons were the same , we will never know what yours was for...

cheers
