Troy Tempest Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Good afternoon gents, this arrived today. I am wondering how best to describe it for my records. The seller has described it as a Regimental Commemorative Cross of the German Army. Would this have been a post-WWI private purchase veterans piece? Could anyone give me the correct German name for this piece please? Thanks! Edited October 3, 2012 by Troy Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signalcorps45 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hello I have one also. I don't know how to describe it, other than a commemorative medal bar. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hello! It´s nice one! By the way, the unit is the Fußartillerie-Bataillon Nr.110.

Troy Tempest Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 A belated thanks one and all for your advice! Since my original post, I have purchased Jörg Nimmergut's Abzeichen und Aszeichnungen Deutscher Kriegervereine 1800-1943, and it's great! However, there is no listing for the FUSS ART. 110 Regimentsspangen in the 50 that he has in his book. Would this be a case of he just hasn't or can't list every single Regimentsspangen? Also, most of these examples shown in his book have the blue/black/red/black/blue ribbon, like mine, but one has a blue/yellow/red/yellow/blue ribbon, is there any reason for this? The Marine version has an EK ribbon, by the look of it, and another has an all blue, with yet another having a green/yellow/red/yellow/green ribbon. Would these different ribbons reflect the owners region or something else that is different to the more common blue/black/red/black/blue ribbon?
