03fahnen Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Thank you very much for your quick response. Apart from the rare combination of medals, there are other elements that allow to see that it is false? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.F. Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Looks like a nice genuine Godet made bar. Devices and ribbons are good with consistent wear. Precedence of ribbons is also correct for a post Anschluss made bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this bar was made in that narrow period after the Anschluss but before the Hungary and Bulgaria was fully recognized as allied powers, then this would be a special bar. But I also don't like ribbon #2 -insofar as what I would expect to also be on the ribbon bar and what isn't on the ribbon bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schießplatzmeister Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hello, I don't see any problems with this field ribbon bar. The order of ribbon placement/precedence is strange, but I have seen much stranger original field ribbon bars. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precedence of ribbons is also correct for a post Anschluss made bar. I don't anything particular that disturbs me... the pin set up and the color of the covering fabric on the back of the bar indicates that this could well be a Godet made one. The only thing that put me estetically a bit off, is the different type of swords devices (smaller) put on the Austrian WWI commemorative, but this is acceptable because also on the full sized ribbon of this medal the swords were slightly different, Austrian type. Moreover is totally ok that the Hungarian and Bulgarian WWI ribbons, although allied of Germany in WWII, are in the end of the bar as they should. The Austrian ribbon is correctly placed after the FEK (Hindenburg) as after 1938 (Anschluss) Austrian decorations were considered "German"... with some exception.

Claudius Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thoughts on ribbon #2? Is this the Bav. Free-City Jubilee 2nd Infantry 1932 medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually, the Austrian Battle Memorial and Hungary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
