Signalcorps45 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Hello to everyone, I picked this medal bar up at the MAX show. I have seen the German P.O.W. medal in a buttonhole version but not on medal bar. Just wanted to share. Dean
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Verx nice indeed... I have never seen that!
ostprussenmann_new Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 That is most interesting medal bar. I didn't even know that Germany had a POW Medal. Any paperwork with it? Very nice indeed.
Eric Stahlhut Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) very cool bar! may we see the obverse of the p.o.w. medal? it looks like a regional commemorative..."zur bleibenden erinnerung" p.s. i looked this medal up, and it seems to be a commemorative piece given out by the notable medal-making family of Heinrich Timm, Berlin. 'erinnerungs-medaille fur heimgekehrte kriegsgefangene'...sort of an appreciatory item. nice! Edited October 7, 2011 by Eric Stahlhut
Signalcorps45 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Thank you for the nice comments. There is no paperwork with this medal. I have never seen the P.O.W. medal on a medal bar so I picked this up. I have included a picture of the reverse of the P.O.W. medal and well as the bar.
tyanacek Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Great bar, Dean! And it was a privilege to be able to handle and examine this bar at the MAX. Best regards, Tom
VtwinVince Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Now that is something I would have grabbed in a heartbeat.
Signalcorps45 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Vince, I did grab this in a heartbeat once I saw it. Tom, I know you got some amazing bars yourself. I like that German customs bar you posted. Very nice. Dean
azyeoman Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Great bar! I've not seen the POW medal in color or on a bar. Thanks!
tyanacek Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 lets see the customs bar Tom! Hello Chris, I have that one posted over in the Third Reich General Awards section. Figured I should post it there rather than here, polluting the Imperial German bars. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/51428-customs-service-medal-bar/page__pid__470915#entry470915 Best regards, Tom
Signalcorps45 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 Thank you to everyone who commented. I really like this bar and wanted to share it. Dean
