For me the Finnish Liberty Cross looks like a German made piece? Other Liberty Crosses from 1918 look in my opinion different.... Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detlef 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- regards josef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
