German State War Merit Medal Medal Bar

[JBeltram]

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?

Regards,

Jody

Hi Jody,

Nice, as you say, you dont see these mounted that often...!

[azyeoman]

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!

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

A strange setup on that one, Paul. Any chance of a shot of the back?

[Paul R]

I have one somewhere. I will find and post.

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.

Always good to see KVM's on medal bars! These are fantastic examples.

Kind regards

Those are really awesome Azyeoman. The DRK bar is great.

Here's another group that is really quite rare due to the War Merit Medal (KVM).

Hi Lambert

For me I have had no issue when buying from them

Nice medal bars, now I have this urge to track down a KVM medal bar.

[azyeoman]

you recommend this shop?

Lambert

Yes, I do. I've never had any issues with him.

Hello.

I've seen some things that interested me ..

Thank U

Lambert

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.

[J Temple-West]

Another one....

[Paul R]

Nice one!!  It is funny how millions of these were reported to have been issued, but they are so rare to find on bars. 

[lambert]

is true...

AS everyone has said, not easy to find, and when you do someone else has normally got it!!!

[azyeoman]

Here's one for the thread. : )

More great bars.  The firefighter's set is very nice.

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
