JBeltram Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hello, I have found it rather hard to find a War Merit Medal either single mounted or on a medal bar. Here is an example I picked up a while ago and was happy to finally add one to my collection. How many others have mounted War Merit Medals?

Chris Boonzaier Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Hi Jody, Nice, as you say, you dont see these mounted that often...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azyeoman Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 You're absolutely right; they're scarce to find mounted. Tom Yanacek mentions it specifically in his wonderful book on parade mounted bars. Like you, I was fortunate to find one and here it is. I hope others post theirs. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBeltram Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Hello, Great bar with the Social Welfare Medal. Yes, I have that great book and a couple of my bars are even in it. They are a bear to find mounted. Regards, Jody Edited May 19, 2013 by JBeltram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Here is my contribution. A strange setup on that one, Paul. Any chance of a shot of the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have one somewhere. I will find and post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Here are the additional photos. The oxidation, wear, and etc are uniform on all materials and is not artificial. It is a strange one, but I am comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I personally love these. What I find most interesting is that I read that these were the most commonly awarded medals, but they are so scarce to find mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Nice one!! It is funny how millions of these were reported to have been issued, but they are so rare to find on bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uffz. Rohleder Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sorry for bringing back this old topic. But since I saw those sacrace mounted War merit medals i hoped I would ever find one of these to. And here is the one I found. The owner was a ww1 veteran and later Truck driver who delivered supplies for the Westwall. Later he got the War merit medal to. He died before the war was over as his civilian truck was straffed by ground attack planes. I also have a photo of him and his Truck. REST IN PEACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
