lew Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 A full size medal bar from my Turkish war medal collections, features a minty MVO with lovely patina, and a Kanal campaign clasp on TWM ribbon, not so easy to find. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Interesting. The owner evidently liked the Turks better than the Prussians. Or he was looking for a sense of balance on the bar..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Or he was looking for a sense of balance on the bar..... Funny theory, I hope it's as easy as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 ... another theory, it could be another Frackspange as well, arranged by award date seniority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azyeoman Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Beautiful bar whatever the reasons. Thanks for sharing. I like the TWM clasp very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very nice, I wonder if the 2balance" theory is maybe not the right one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Lovely bar! Though even if it is a frackspange he must have been a Prussian with a low regard for the Bavarians!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I'm sure it was mutual. Doubtful that it was a frack given the position of the hinge. Edited March 13, 2013 by dond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Definitely a one of a kind bar! I am in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spolei Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hello, the MVO is a Hemmerle with silver golden medaillons. Can someone translate the clasp on the türkish ribbon? It is strange, that the turkish ribbon is in the middle. The bar itself but it looks pretty good. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
