Josef Rietveld Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Gentleman, i have to announce, that i bought my first bar ever. it is nothing special, only the backside persuaded me to this acquisition.regardshaynau
Guest Rick Research Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 He was a long way from home! The light gray backing cloth and style of pin are typical of 1916-1920s Godet work. VERY unusual indeed not to be on the normal trifold ribbons!
Paul C Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 That is a really nice choice for your first bar. You can't go wrong with Godet!
Paul R Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 I agree with Bob. This the the first bar with these medals I have seen that is without the HK! Nice find!
Stogieman Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Now that's a very special and very unusual bar. Pre-1934 and a rather unique repeat award bar mounting! They didn't lend themselves to this but Godet did fine. A brave young man with 2 Small Silver Bravery Medals from Kaiser Karl!!

A brave young man with 2 Small Silver Bravery Medals from Kaiser Karl!!the german mounting is very curious. that mounting and the godet-shiedl was the reason for buying this bar. i wonder why it has be done that way. maybe an austrian who changed nationality after the collapse of the old reich?haynau
