landsknechte Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It doesn't really show up all that well in these photographs, but the swords on the White Falcon are gold. Also, there are holes in the two long service ribbons where devices of some sort would have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A very nice ribbon bar combo. The holes are most likely for Wehrmacht Long Service devices rather than any other kind of long service imo....hard to say whether Heer or Luftwaffe. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offhand, I can't think of any other scenarios where you would have two long service ribbons on a bar, whereupon both would have had a device. (I can think of some scenarios where one might have a device, and the other not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'd think even if the swords are gold, he had more likely a knight's cross 2nd class, as the bar totally looks like a WW1 junior officer's. Two blue ribbons with (missing) devices are most likely a Wehrmacht duo - be it Army, Navy or Luftwaffe. Other scenarios might be one Wehrmacht award with a Treudienst-Ehrenzeichen, if he switched between military and civil state service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
