Interesting Lapel Ribbon Bows

[Beau Newman]

I've recently picked up a couple of interesting non-combat/civilian ribbon bows.  

The first appears to be to a Bavarian official and includes the Ludwig Cross, O. of the Bavarian Crown, St Michael Verdienst Cross, Saxe-Weimar White Falcon, Saxon Albert and a Centenary.

The second is a non-combat Iron Cross, a Saxe-Weimar of some type, Prussian War Service Cross, Hindy Cross, 2 long service, 1936 Olympics and a Bulgarian WWI Commemorative.  Interestingly, the button on this one is marked "For Gentlemen" in English.

Although these are likely untraceable, it would be interesting to know the story behind them.

Looking good. But be careful  - in Germany you can find a lot of modern made ones!

Since it is a Bavarian official, the red ribbon is likely for the Prinzregent-Luitpold-Medaille.

You're probably right.
