tifes Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Salut, both medal bars are Austrian ones probably dated back to 30s or 40s. The first one seems to be OK concerning order the precedence of medals. The second one (for officer) is bit strange. First of all above-mentioned order of precedence - Wound Medal (Verwundetenmedaille) must be placed between Karl-Truppen-Kreuz and Austrian Commemorative WWI medal for combatants. Moreover that clasp for 2nd award can't be attached to BMVM (Bronze Signum Laudis) but in this form only to SMVM (Silver Signum Laudis). BMVM couldn't be awarded more than once when repetitive award of this decoration was actually SMVM. "K" on the Silver Bravery Medal is definitely post-war production, it doesn't have correct colour and shape. Regards, tifes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The officer bar is an apparent recent fake, using some real and some fake awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 From the rear it does look like the work of the Austrian faker...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
