M Hunter Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Dear Gentlemen, I came across this medal bar recently. To me the combination does not make much sense but I am still learning. Have the Iron Cross and Honor Cross been swapped out with these 1870 medals? Crown Order Medal too maybe? Unfortunately no good clear photos of the ribbons around these medal suspension rings. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Definitely messed with. The campaign bars are unofficial WWI, not Franco-Prussian and the Hamburg Cross is definitely WWI. The EK is a bad repro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Saw this one for sale as well. Beau's right, the bars are for a WW1 veteran's medal. Regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hunter Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 A shame someone has done this....and all in the name of profit no doubt. The medal bar is currently on ebay. It will be interesting to see where the price goes. :banger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just shows that the number of idiots bidding on ebay has not decreased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
