drspeck Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi all, When your time permits... I was able to acquire some ribbon bars and would like your opinion on these: 1) First question would be; what about the authenticity? 2) 2 of the bars came with an ID disk to "Hans Freiherr von Welser". Can anyone confirm that the 2 bars actually do belong to Von Welser? 3) Identification of ribbons? 4) Is identification possible on the other bars? - I'll post the images one by one - Regards, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerd Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi Peter , Congrats to the nice bars , I was interested but the price went through the roof The ribbon bar in post 3 shows exactly the awards to Frhr von Welser exept the Bremen Kreuz ? Can anyone confirm that von Welser did get a Bremen Kreuz ? He was not a Fighting officer , He was a High Staff "Ober Regirungs Rath" , I suppose a quite normal ribbon bar to such a person, with awards from a lot of different states.

saschaw Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Greats bars, and no doubts about the authenticity. I think the Austrian might be identifiable form the "foreigners" (Bavaria and Bulgaria), but I'm not into Austria... The Bavarian red cross bar is rather not identidfiable to its wearer, I fear. Still a nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerd Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 No Bremen Hanseatic Cross is mentioned in the Kriegsranglisten... Strange, maybe they missed it ? MVO III , EK II , Bremen HK, Heilige Michael III ,Jub M mit Krone, Landwehr JubM , Landwehr DA II , SaO III, Lippe Ehk , Schwarzburg Ehk , Reuss Ehk Not bad without being fired at Many soldiers in the frontline did not get more than a EKII .... His medalbar must have looked nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
