tyanacek Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hello guys, Here is a medal bar that I just got today. It features a non-combatant EK2, Bavarian MVO4, and Hindenburg Cross. I'm thinking that because of the presence these decorations/orders, plus the 1922-34 Red Cross Decoration, that this bar most likely belonged to a doctor. Does anyone have any other opinions about this? Hope you like it! Thank you & best regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi. I am no expert, but I would have expected something Bavarian red Crossish from WW1 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you & best regards, Tom As I can see the ribbons #1, #2, #5 and #6 are not original - the modern repro Edited November 8, 2012 by Sergio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militaria0815 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I doubt somebody is able to detect new ribbons if he does not have the medal bar in his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If the owner was a doctor during the war wouldn't he have had one of the red cross medals, especially in light of the last medal on the bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Tom, I agree with your analyses. I would take some time but an ID maybe possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I doubt somebody is able to detect new ribbons if he does not have the medal bar in his hands. You can easily see a difference between original and fake ribbons even according to these pictures. Pay attention to edges of ribbons! These are modern synthetic ribbons!

VtwinVince Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I saw this bar on ebay, and was immediately suspicious. Too many red flags for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRBeery Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I have had this bar in my hands twice. I did not like the way the EK2 ribbon was done. It looked modern and done by a different hand. The MVO4 looked like it had swords that were removed. I missed the other ribbons. Jan seems like a decent guy so if you did return it I wouldn't think he would give you a hard time. Edited November 21, 2012 by CRBeery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavaria Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Which marks has the Bavarian MVO (backside below the ring)? 980 or 950? It might be made from "Weiss" ("WCo") and that´s not a good sign. Regards Rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
