Deruelle Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hi, A very interresting ribbon bar. On question, where is the centenary medal ? Strange not to see it here. I think this bar may have belonged to one Oberst or Generalmajor. The third ribbon may be the Red Eagle Order 2nd class with X and oakleaves. It may be id. Thanks for sharing it with us.

lew Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Christophe, I have no idea why it has no centenary medal. The red eagle with sworld and oakleaves should be a right guess. I found a similar example in Andrea Thies auction catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Dear Lew, What an impressive ribbon bar! Congratulations on your purchase. Perhaps this is a "war-time bar" with pre-war "peace, etc" decorations left off. Though if this was the case I would not expect to see the Long Service ribbon (just thinking out loud). Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 the long service ribbon is the blue one after the one with swords and oak leaves Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 the long service ribbon is the blue one after the one with swords and oak leaves Christophe Hi Christophe, I'm pretty sure that one is for the Prussian Crown Order, not long service medal.

lew Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 ... or a Württemberg Friedrich Order I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 This is long service cross ribbon. Both mentioned orders have a lighter blue ribbon, and the Württemberg would be in totally wrong position. With RAO2EX, the wearer should have been Generalmajor. Oberste did not get RAO2, from what I know. I'm not sure if this is identifiable. Too many common WW1 awards for these ranks... and most we have no complete rolls for. Still a nice bar, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Württemberg should be wrong, but I still think the blue colour is lighter than service ribbon. Will double check later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Pure Prussian, Long Service in 4th place, NOT a peace-time Friedrich.... he's wearing all his non-Prussian war awards after. Note the total lack of peace-time awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 #2 place is probably a Prussian crown order, making another one in 4th position actually impossble. No need to double check, I can keep apart dark blue from light blue. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
