Uffz. Rohleder Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 After more than 20 years i got the medal bar back that belongs to my great great grandfather!My uncle sold it after my grandpa dies in 1995 - and a few days ago i found it on german ebay. it was overpriced but i didnt care about it. The damage is unique - and the two holes on the top of the bar are the most obvius proof that the bar is hims. GreetingsStefan
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That is about as good as it gets! Congrats!

Mike M Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Really proud that you traced a great part of your family history!! Always amazes me how relatives dump these prized reminders of family history and achievement.
Douglas Jr. Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 What a fantastic news!Your greatgrandpa must be proud of you.
IrishGunner Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Not only great news, but that's a damn great bar! I love these old pieces - more than the fanciest PLM or Godet EK. Knowing that it is from your family makes it priceless IMHO. Now start convincing your kids to hold onto it...
Uffz. Rohleder Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words! I hope one of my daughters will keep the family awards together.
