    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! :beer:

    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!!

    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,

    That's what I was thinking, or perhaps a Berliner who somehow ended up living in Austria, served in the Austrian army during the war, and then went back home to Berlin afterwards???? :unsure:
