Von Thronstahl Posted August 22, 2016 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted August 23, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchapman Posted August 28, 2016 Share 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?
