Have a similar bar inbound from Germany right now, but with the Baden equivalent mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurorders Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Oh, how I would wish someone would write and publish a book in English on German imperial era medal bars. I really don't think a coffee table sized reference book on this exists yet. It would be an opportunity for a researcher/writer. I loved the format of the book Parade Medal Bars of the Third Reich, but the author of that said he was not going to pursue that route I just mentioned, which I respect. I thought I would ask him first. I know of several persons who would contribute to such a work. Who wants to take the lead and pursue? I'll be one of the first ones buying a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filfoster Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I apologize for asking this, if it's commonly known (but not by me!): Is it the case that medal bars with detachable medals were only worn by enlisted men, not officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common misconception amongst non-imperial collectors but not true. The medalbar with detachable medals was often an economic solution rather than a statement of rank.
