    Could this be Harry Gondi's ribbon bar?

    Found this photo showing Gondi wearing a long ribbon bar, also a TWM and a Silesian Eagle 1st class.

    Hi lew,

    I do not think that it is Gondi´s ribbon bar, he is born on 16.07.1900

    and there are at least two ribbons which are not possible:

    blue ribbon = Dienstauszeichnung and

    yellow ribbon = Centenarmedaille or Baden silberne Verdienstmedaille

    Kind regards

    Andreas

    Group looks to represent Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs 1914/1918 [Hindenburg Cross], Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe [Prussian Merit Cross for War Aid], Schlesischer Adler [Silesian Eagle], Turkish Iron Halfmoon/Crescent aka Gallipoli Star, Bulgarian Civil Merit Order, Dienstauszeichnung [Prussian Long Service Cross or Medal], Kaiser-Wilhelm-Erinnerungsmedaille Zentenarmedaille [Prussian Centenary Medal] or Baden Silberne Verdienstmedaille {Thank you Andreas!}, Royal Victorian Order or Medal, Greek Order of the Redeemer and [most likely] Russian St Anne Order or Red Cross Medal.  Several awards take a red with narrow yellow edge stripe ribbon including Brunswick's Henry the Lion Order but this ribbon bar arrangement makes that one unlikely.  The miniatures on the bow would confirm Hindenburg Cross, Merit Cross, Silesian Eagle, Iron Halfmoon, and the Bulgarian suspension crown plus ribbon color yield a Bulgarian Civil Merit Order or Cross.

     This ensemble suggests military and civilian service.
