no swords on the ribbonbar - but brave!

[Christian L]

this very well worn ribbonbar looks very good to me - but i have a few problems in iding the ribbons, as there are no devices on.

so my guess would be:

1.) ek 2

2.) nco plm (so made it to officer during the war)

3.) house order of hohenzollern with swords

4.) saxonian albrechts order

5.) hessen bravery medal

6.) long service decoration

7.) centenial medal

8.) kyffh?user medal

am i correct on these?

Christian,

If there are no devices, might one of the first three have been for the Milit?r-Ehrenzeichen or Kriegerverdienstmedaille (but would this also require a colonial award?)?

The fourth ribbon may also have been for the Albrechtskreuz, in which case it might be an NCO bar after all.

No way to tell if he was an officer or NCO, now. That's certainly an extraordinary wartime bar that the cheap owner squashed a 1920s Kyffh?userbund ribbon onto.

Pretty darn nice ribbon bar. I'd think NCO/Other ranks for sure. I'd agree with the GMVK, but not the PCOwX.... I'm thinking MVK 1. or 2. Klasse as more likely. Just beautiful! Congrats!

thanks a lot for your replys!

was the mvk often awarded in during the war?
