Gary B Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 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. Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary B Hi Gary, I figured as such but with this hobby (and that medal in particular), anything goes. 27 minutes ago, Chris Boonzaier said: Hi Stormrider, the one wit the Bulgarian one mounted first is very interesting!!

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.

Every one of your bars look like they were put under glass in a museum as soon as they were made. Awesome collection!
