jshorter Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Hi everyone! I saw this group for sale and thought it was an interesting combination of medals. My question is, was the recipient from Baden or Bavaria? Or I guess a better question would be, what is the background of this soldier? Thank you for your input! Kindest regards, Jason
HeikoGrusdat Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 That makes no sense at all Jason....see the medals , they talk for themselves..... 9 year service medal from Baden , then Landwehr service medal from Bavaria and and to make it even more funny a 20 years Sicherheitsdienst Auszeichnung from Bavaria (for police and gendamerie)..... mission impossible
jshorter Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 It's an interesting group, but I had the same thoughts! Thanks for confirming. Jason
spolei Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) The bavarian first class crown /swords is a known fake. The Sicherheitsdienstauszeichnung looks even bad. Edited May 20, 2016 by spolei
saschaw Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) I agree with what was stated by the others, but would like to add: According to Bernd Döbel's award numbers of the Bavarian MVK which he published in early 2014 on German forum SDA, there were eight MVKs 1st class with the crown and swords awarded on this ribbon. Eight! Something to keep this in mind if we see them again and again and again... Edited August 27, 2019 by saschaw
