Dave Danner Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think #2 is the Hesse Bravery Medal. I am not sure if it would be identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerd Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 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 .
