I think #2 is the Hesse Bravery Medal. I am not sure if it would be identifiable.

Hallo Andreas ,

That is not the Liberty Cross for civilian you have there It is the Liberty Cross 2nd Class 1918 !!

And that makes the bar very unusual . Not many where awarded in 1918 and even fewer to Germans. This makes the ribbon bar

possible to ID

This is the ribbon bar to Johannes Jantzen 1880-1945 , look for his name here on GMIC and you will see the big medal bar .

I´ve read the other thread and I think Mr. Jantzen must have been an interesting person
