Chris Boonzaier Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I am not sure why they are mounted in that order but with the ribbon bars it looks very convincing indeed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Would this bar be for a senior officer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello Alexander, the order of mounting the medals is right. First the military awarded medals and then the civilian once. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The bar is post-1934, so Prussian precedence rules wouldn't apply, although many veterans still followed them. Under precedence rules in the Third Reich, peacetime awards all came after the Honor Cross for Combatants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryansk1959 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks for active and very interesting discussion,Crown orden and a cross in 25 years of service likely is received even before war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixhs Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 for me one of the last version of the DA25 so it could be awarded till after the war (~ 1920) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
