spolei Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Yes originally a coin but some made them into medals Hello, it was allowed to fix this coin on bar. The ribbon was the same as the Jubiläumsmedaillie The coin was given without any ring.

Very nice bar, gratulations. Mennacher was member of the bavarian Infanterie Leibregiment. He also got the Leiberring Nr. 147 and the Edelweiss . Do you have the complete military heritage of him?
IrishGunner Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Finally with an Epson scanner I can add the "best" German Imperial bar in my collection... A twin to Ulsterman's in Post #44
Dete Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Hi Spolei, I ve his docs, unfortunately not the ring.
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Der ``Zöllner`` ist ne Wucht. Gruss Rudi Aber der Söllner nicht!!! Bayern in the house!!!!
spolei Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Spolei, I ve his docs, unfortunately not the ring. Gratulation, it is not easy to find a bravery-medal with all papers.
ixhs Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Of course Hans Söllner is great, too. Watch his song about the Alfa Spider and the songs about Mr. Schönhuber... if you understand his dialect
Trooper_D Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Hello, it was allowed to fix this coin on bar. The ribbon was the same as the Jubiläumsmedaillie The coin was given without any ring. Spolei Do we know (a) why a coin was given, rather than a medal, and (b) why the recipient was entited to wear it like a medal? Was it issued to all those who were entitled to a Jubilee medal or did it have a wider circulation? Sorry for all these questions but this seems like an interesting anomaly.

Hello, This medal should shared to all troops. which had Bavarian King Ludwig III as owner. The end of the war prevented the deal out. In 1922 the coins were found and given to Kronprinz Rupprecht, who spend this medals after the burial of King Ludwig III to loyal bavarians. It was allowed to fix this coin to the medal bar, as a civillian bavarian decoration. Sorry about my bad english, but it is difficult with less knowledge and a bad translatorprogramm this special themes to translate.

Spolei Don't worry about your English - this was a fascinating story and deserved the wider telling you have given it. Many thanks. Edited October 14, 2013 by Trooper_D
dante Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Spolei, Many thanks for this excellent information Edited October 15, 2013 by dante
spolei Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Hello Dante, that is another intersting bar. The MVK is a late Hemmerle ( 1918). The rank of this NCO was Offizierstellvertreter. Can you show us the backside? The Hochzeitsmedaillie was coloured golden ( that was also allowed). The bar shows the FEK (Frontkämpferehrenkreuz), so it would be assembled after 1934.

ixhs Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Here another two with rare official`s ribbon. Especially the MVO is very rare with it. The bar belonged to a padre (priest). (they say less than ~ 600 times awarded) best Schulz Hptwachtmstr. Here another two with rare official`s ribbon. Especially the MVO is very rare with it. The bar belonged to a padre (priest).
