I have just won this bar. I feel good about it. It did not spend much, but I am happy!! What are your thoughts!

Looks like a minty fresh 25mm width sew on pair. A rather unusual Imperial period style but not unknown.

That's the Saxe-Meiningen War Merit Cross/Medal there after the Iron Cross.

Give it a flash with your blacklight when it arrives, and if silk and not synthetic, you got a winner!

[Paul R]

Thanks Rick! I will surely do that! I will keep you posted!

[Stogieman]

Nice little bar Paul and a rather scarce combination. Nice grab!

[Paul R]

Thanks Rick! Is there a way to tell the grade of this medal by the ribbon as shown?

[Guest Rick Research]

Nope. In very unusual and unauthorized (but logical) wear a bronze crown device is sometimes seen to indicate the Cross (which is actually the round Medal, pierced, and with a crown suspesion)-- but that was NEVER official.
