    Hello Everyone,

    This pair of Imperial German Medals arrived a few days ago and I wanted to share them with you.

    I doubt they are rare but the medal on the right is the Baden Felldienstauszeichnung which was awarded to those who fought in Baden's campaigns. Instituted in 1838 it was retroactive to 1806. I've read that there were bars to this ribbon as well but as you can see this one has none.

    I'm fairly confident that this is an original pair.

    I hope you like it.

    Regards

    Brian

    Here's a view of the back of the bar and the reverse of the medals.

    The hanger for the Baden medal was obviously made for the medal so I don't think this is a case where a medal, or both, were added to an existing ribbon bar.

    Any opinions will be welcomed and appreciated as always.

    Thanks for taking a look.

    Regards

    Brian

    Very nice original pair Brian. As you say,the Baden Felldienstauszeichnung does come with a bar and here's my pair with the 1870 -1871 bar on it. Not in the best of conditions but, nice all the same.

    The reverse view of mine with a slighly different means of attaching the Barden award. Unfortunately missing the mounting pin.

    The photo makes that 1870-71 medal look gilded. Is it a private purchase, or just really shiny?

    Thanks for sharing those really awesome 1870 bars. What is the last medal on the Hessian bar?

    What is the last medal on the Hessian bar?
