Ein leeres Band möglicherweise für den türkischen Stern

Kyffhäuser Medaille Kriegerbund

IMHO there is nothing wrong with this bar. I saw it before.

Hi Josef,

did you saw the bar in private collection?

For me the Finnish Liberty Cross looks like a German made piece?

Other Liberty Crosses from 1918 look in my opinion different....

Hi Detlef, this bar was recently presented in the largest german forum. it came straight out of the woodwork and the new owner didn't even know all decorations

on the bar. So i have a good feeling that this bar wasn't manipulated at all.

The Liberty Cross could be a german made spangenstück but i'am no expert on finnish decorations at all-

Does that make it "more" rare/interesting or "less" rare/common?

Additionally, could someone comment again as to why the wearer wanted a spangenstück for his medalbar? Did he keep the original in his drawer, or did he lose it
