Uffz. Rohleder Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Hello all,today i got this nice 5 place ribbon bar - its my frst with a DSWA Medal Greetings Stefan
Uffz. Rohleder Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Thank you very much Paul Greetings Stefan
padro Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Ah so it was you who beat me to it Stefan!Nice bar, I've got it's big brother.As you can see the only difference is that this guy has added his 25 year service medal onto the end of his bar!This bar belonged to Peter Puff, a Vizefeldwebel in the Schutztruppe in German South West Africa.He must have been held prisoner for the duration as his MVK certificate is dated the 19th of January 1920.All the best Pete.
Stogieman Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I always find it interesting when members can pair things up like this. Nice bars Gentlemen

Oh i didnt know that!Very nice Bar! When i ever will give away the bar - you will be the first contact! GreetingsStefan
Paul R Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Great match up. What are the odds they belong to the same owner? Is this a common combination?
Uffz. Rohleder Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Good question - it would be great when both bars belong to the Same man.
HeikoGrusdat Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Both bars , the ribbon bar and the medal bar , are no unique combinations.... only with a Name from Awards docs or something like that you can be 100% safe who you have there.....on the ribbon bar where you have no more "help" it can be everything , a MVK 3. class for exemple...what DA the blue ribbon is for - can be 9y , 12y, 15y or maybe Landwehr...who knows BUT what makes me feel that you have really two bars of ONE guy is the Point that on his original medal bar (bevor the Addition of the 25y ca. 1938) he has the DSWA-medal mounted on last Position on exact the same place as on the ribbon bar although it was a combattant Award that normally should place on Position 2 or 3 !!! The 25cross is added to the existing bar so both the medal and the ribbon bar with the matching Awards were made after getting the Hindy ca. 1935 with the same order of Awards.Just a guess....but I would give you two a Edited July 12, 2015 by HeikoGrusdat
Uffz. Rohleder Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 Thanks Heiko, That all seems very plausible. If you look on the mounting style and the bavarian ribbon folding. It is realy matching. Ok for 100% you will never know - but for me i. Looks like a 95% Greetings Stefan
HeikoGrusdat Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Pete.....can you show us the docs you have from your man?
padro Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Glad you like our bars guys and thanks for the kind thoughts from Stefan.Unfortunately I don't have all the documents for this bar, but here are the ones that I do have, hope you enjoy!!First the MVK2 doc. Next the DA1 doc signed by Keil. Next the FEK doc.and finally the 25 year service doc.Unfortunately I don't have his EK2 doc or the DSWA Abz. doc.Best regardsPete
Uffz. Rohleder Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Thank you very much Pete!Thats a realy Nice group
