IrishGunner Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) One more common medal in the ribbon bar threads, but without it's own thread. Show your singles. This is my kind of "schumtzig" example... Edited November 9, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have never seen one of those boxes before! Are they private purchase, or did higher ranks get them in a box, and lower ranks in a packet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Would the bar not be a wiederholungspange to show a second award? Hugh Here's a look at the wiederholungspange on the Austro-Hungarian Tapferkeitsmedaille. I'm not trying to insist that this is the same as the one shown on the Hesse medal; just that they look alike in two German-speaking countries. I hope someone can offer a definitive answer. Who is our wiederholungspange expert? Best, Hugh Edited November 17, 2013 by Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hugh, I also immediately thought of the similarity to the Wiederholungspange on the Austro-Hungarian Tapferkeitsmedaille, but also have no verifying reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valter Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I was also thinking about wiederholung spange, but never seen one before, neither on other German awards. Was that medal even possible to be awarded twice or more times? I've seen a picture of a bar with two Hessen medals (Niemann's catalog, I think), but never "in real" or on ribbon bar.

saschaw Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) That's such a great Feldspange with this ultra-rare, but inofficial clasp, Rudi!

Who is our wiederholungspange expert? Trust me, there is really no need for a Wiederholungsspange expert, when our Hessen experts - and all books on the topic! - are clear in this point: The Hessen bravery medal could not be awarded twice. Thus, no need for a Spange. Other than many Austrian-Hungarian "Great War" awards, it was unusual, to say the least, to award the very same award several times in the German states.

From my understanding, it wasn't about rank. The cases are pre- and early war, and later, when resources got narrow, they switched to envelopes. It was most similar with Baden, where even the lower classes of the Zähringer Löwen order were awarded in sealed envelopes...
