CRBeery Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) While driving past a local antique shop on my way to lunch the other day I suddenly got the feeling I should stop in and take a look around. I have been there before and never found a thing. I went in and this was in the second case inside the front door. I find it interesting for four reasons. First, it is always nice to find a BMVK2X on a bar locally. Second is the lack of an EK2. Third is the red backing which I have rarely found on Bavarian bars. And finally the unofficial clasp for the Kyffhauser medal which is spelled differently than in Detlevs book. A neat little bar. Too bad the moths got to it before I did.

Bob Hunter Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Nice find! One can only wonder what ever possessed the owner to put the clasp on the BMVK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRBeery Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 There used to be one on the 9 yr LS also. I will never know which one so I massaged the ribbon and the holes are not really noticable now. I guess he wanted to save as much as he could from his pre '34 bar.Thanks!
