    I bought a medal bar around seven years ago that had no medals on it. It took me a while to find the first medal. I first bought the Schaumburg-Lippe version. I bought it over at the other sight while at work using my cell phone. When it arrived I realized it was probably the wrong one but kept it as these do not turn up often. Finally the Lippe-Detmold version was for sale here and I bought it. These are nice looking medals.

    That was my initial thought also. I have never seen the Ehrenmedal on the combat ribbon but I have seen the cross on both so that it why it is there for now. Does anyone have a similar combination? As you can tell I am no huge hurry so if I have to find another medal I will.

    my guess he was wounded early in war Got combat cross then got other noncom medals on the home front!

    I would agree...a possible explanation. But nevertheless it is a unusual bar with a unique combination. Nice...

    Good Lord!

    That's a nice bar.

    Solomon-any chance he can be identified?

    Congrats by the way! I got my BDOS magazine! :cheers::whistle:

    Thank you...it was a great honour for me in Konstanz :blush:

    The identification isn´t easy. The honour cross is the only hint.

    May I have a good scan of the front center (with the rose)?

    Maybe the manufacturer helps to ID it.

    Best regards

    There were no medals on this when I bought it so I do not know if I even have the correct medals on it. These were my best guess.It is a nice bar that sat around for years with no medals on it. I finally filled it in and the medals are just tucked in and not sewn.

    Aaaah...that makes it even more difficult :speechless:

    I´m not sure, if the red-cross medal is the right type...I would prefer the steel-version.

    Regarding the combantant-ribbon from Lippe-Detmold (2nd position) the war honour medal and the war merit cross are possible.

    No idea which one would fit better, but I prefer the war merit medal.
