piekenier Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 This impressive medal bar belonged to Dr.Hans Hanneman who served in DSWA from 1904 up to 1915 .He then had some service in the 3rd Reich period .The last medal ribbon with swords on the extreme right of the bar I am not sure about .I have not been able to ascertain what it is nor when it was awarded .

Dave Danner Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The ribbon could be the Lippe House Order, but I do not believe Dr. Hannemann had that, and it wouldn't be after the non-swords Saxon Order. So I think it is Romanian, probably the Order of the Crown on the wartime bravery ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Reminds me of a Turkish ribbon. Can we see a photo of the reverse? Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It is indeed the Turkish Lyiakat medal, with swords for War service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piekenier Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Anybody got a photo of the Turkish medal perhaps color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piekenier Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I saw the other post on the golden Lyiakat medal and the ribbon colors are not the same .My ribbon is red with green edge stripes much like the Bavarian Luipold Jubilee medal (which had no swords though!)

piekenier Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Odulf thanks for the picture.You will note however there is a distinct difference in that that my ribbon green stripes are right on the edge! It is also unlikely I think that he would have got the turkish medal as I do not believe he served in Turkey as he was in DSWA in WW1 and was captured there .

To my knowledge, it was not necessary to serve in Trukey to qualify, but perhaps Demir, our Turkish GMIC moderator knows more about this matter.

M Hunter Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It could be a "closest match" ribbon for the Turkish medal. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
