Von Thronstahl Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 What do you think of this medal bar? I am newbie to Imperial and Freikorps collecting field so please excuse me if I make mistakes. Isn´t Cross of Vytis on the Baltic Cross ribbon? I think there are not zinc variants of the Eiserne Division medal. Am I right?

I think there are not zinc variants of the Eiserne Division medal. Am I right? The Iron Division medal is not zinc. I'm not sure what material it is, except that it is definitely a cast of an original, as opposed to fakes cast from new dies which usually show up on the market. That is a Baltic Cross ribbon. I have strong doubts that this bar is even genuine. Edited August 23, 2016 by bolewts58 more info
bolewts58 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Here is a comparison of yours with an original (middle image) and a fake cast from a modern die (right image). It's clear that yours has been cast from an original.
mchapman Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 I dont like the bar, based on photos. -Eiserne Division medal is cast (pointed out already) -the commemorative WW1 medal to the left of it looks like a modern copy as well What is the second medal even supposed to be?
