Steve K. Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Is it odd for an officer not to have any awards?...this is essentially just service award for the unification and a long service award for 9 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeheld Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sorry to say like that, but it is not a bar from Mecklenburg. It's Oldenburg! Here is a long service cross mounted insteate of a missing Campaign medal from Oldenburg 1866! regards Seeheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ribbon of Oldenburg medal 1866 is rather red in the middle, and the internal stripes in dark blue... http://antique-photos.com/en/awardsdatabase/german-empire/oldenburg/291-1866-military-campaign-medal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) 100% sure The Mecklenburg ribbons are more lighter and not so colourful. Edited July 27, 2017 by seeheld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompress Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Nice bar, but on your picture Oldenburg medal is on the correct 1st position - and on the bar of thread starter behind the cross (as the Long Service Corss should be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeheld Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 negative never ever But if you don't trust my knowledge, then go ahead. two short questions: why I have never meet a collector in our archives in Mecklenburg? How is possible that I have all mecklenburgian rolls and thousands of files in copy, but always other collectors have more knowledges? best regards Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
