Bavaria Medal bar with TWM clasp

[lew]

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

Interesting. The owner evidently liked the Turks better than the Prussians. Or he was looking for a sense of balance on the bar.....

Funny theory, I hope it's as easy as that

[lew]

... another theory, it could be another Frackspange as well, arranged by award date seniority?

Beautiful bar whatever the reasons. Thanks for sharing. I like the TWM clasp very much!

Very nice, I wonder if the 2balance" theory is maybe not the right one?

Lovely bar! Though even if it is a frackspange he must have been a Prussian with a low regard for the Bavarians!!

I'm sure it was mutual.

Doubtful that it was a frack given the position of the hinge.

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.

I didn't pay attention to that, thank you Andreas

The inscription reads Kanal, the Suez Channel.
