    HI Stormrider, 

    Nice bars.  Your Hindenburg Cross with the clips on the reverse is for mounting it to a larger multi place medal bar.  Single parade mounts were made with these backing clips so they could be attached to a larger metal plate with corresponding slits and a pin back.  The individually mounted medals were then mounted to this larger metal plate to create a large medal bar.  

    I do not have a picture of one but it is similar to the ribbon bars of the same construction type.

    Hi Gary, I figured as such but with this hobby (and that medal in particular), anything goes. ;)

    A bit battered (laundered) but still impressive 11 place Ribbon Bar, I'd love to know which Austrian Ribbon pertains to which medal. :)

    We can assume it´s an officer´s ribbon bar, therefore the austrian ribbons would (but must not!) be in common: Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Kl., Silberne Militärverdienstmedaille, Bronzene Militärverdienstmedaille, Karl-Truppenkreuz, Hindenburgkreuz, Österr. Kriegsmedaille, Jubiläumskreuz 1908 and Mobilisierungskreuz 1912-13.

    Regards

    Hello, I have this badge of hand-to-hand combat, the seller assured me it is original, but I would like to know other opinions, I would appreciate someone telling me what you think.

    Best regards.

    Wow, Gary, did you rob a museum! :)   Most of my medal bars have ribbons with a bit of dirt and a couple of them have a small stain or two.  Every one of your bars look like they were put under glass in a museum as soon as they were made.  Awesome collection!

    Memory is intact Gary. That was a great bar. I’ll post more from the past this week.

    Here are a couple of bars I've not posted (I think).  Nothing really glamorous, but still rare combos and represent honorable wartime service.  I love the NC Bar!

    I like this group. The medals for 12 and 4 years of service, together with the Norwegian Order of St. Olav, knight/chevalier with swords (military class), version 1906-1937.
