    This just showed up. They were included in a larger lot of ribbon bars. A matching set of sew-on ribbon bar and lapel ribbons. Other than the order of precedence for the Long Service ribbon, they are identical.

    A great little group Beau especially with the marked Godet lapel bow. :love: I had seen these on eBay and was tempted to bid.

    Best wishes

    Me too, nice set! The actual difference is the precedence of the Austrian medal, indication pre- and post-"Anschluss" 1938! Which makes perfectely sense.

    Wasn't there more in the lot that belonged to the group, or am I mistaken?

    There was. The items that were obviously not related to these two are now listed on ebay. There was another sew-on bar with a Zahringen ribbon that does not appear to be related.

    Beau, I think that other Zähringer bar might well belong to these - as an upper row of a two row set. It apparetnly post-dates this bar due to the KVK.

    That's possible but, 3 of the 4 ribbons on the 2nd bar also appear on the bar pictured. It has the 1914 EK, 1939 War Service Cross w/swords, Zahr. w/swords and the HC w/swords. Is it likely that the same recipient may have had simplified set made without the foreign and long service awards?

    Unlikely he missed them out. As said, and based on it being a wide ribbon bar with 20 mm ribbons(?), I think that is the upper row of a two row set, means the lower bar with long service award and the three foreigners is unfortunately missing.
