alan_g Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I have this nice Oldenburg ribbon bar, which is a similar bar to that on a thread started by Christer. This bar has a few extras to it. Vor Dem Feinde clasp, Austrian bravery medal and 40 years faithful service device. Its in very good condition. Nice close ups of the miniatures. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/49505-oldenburg-fighter-ribbon-bar/ Here is my oldenburg fighters ribbon bar:
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'm surprised not to see a Crowned X on the first "OK" ribbon--from the position, that's what it must have been. Otherwise, it's a peacetime House Order and THAT either/or is what will make this tricky to ID. Looks like a nice early WW2 bar. My bet would be this guy jusssssssst scarped short of earning a war-doubled-time XXV,,, REALLY tight timing--say in 1901/02 but OUT 1919, and then continuous civil service for that 40 1940/41. That should neatly winnow down possible suspects, but for the either/or. Highl unlikely to be a peacetime House Order... though possible. Navy? Army? A name should pop up from any of the possibilities.
alan_g Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 It's an interesting one that's for sure I love those Vor Dem Feinde Clasps!
Guest Rick Research Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 OK, how's this for fast--if NOT happily. NO WW1 Oldenburg House OrderX recipient matches. So peacetime... much harder, even with those rolls not fully transcribed. We haven't got this one on our Master List.
alan_g Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 That's a shame. But still a nice "hero" bar none the less.
