Nicolas7507 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hello, I recently got this ribbon bar. Do you think this one can be ID'd? I think he could be Kriegsmarine and as the Friedrichskreuz was not that common in the Marine, there might be a chance. All the Best, Nicolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Maybe. Are you sure the second ribbon is the Friedrichskreuz? Also is the fifth ribbon a Red Eagle order or Hanseatic Cross? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 The second ribbon is definitely the Friedrichskreuz. The front of the ribbon faded but on the backside the original colors are still preserved. The fifth ribbon is in my opinion the General Honor Decoration (Prussia).

Paul C Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If that is the case then the bar is an EM bar and not identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas7507 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thats a pity. I thought, that he would have been an officer in the 1920s and thus in the ranklists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Nicolas - too bad it’s not identifiable, but a very nice bar nonetheless! J- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The yellow ribbon is the centennial 1897 medal and if the person was in during the 1920's and an officer he would have / should have had at least a RAO or KO and more wartime decorations.

The Friedrichskreuz is not that common on ribbon bars, so I was happy to find this one! 2 hours ago, Paul C said: The yellow ribbon is the centennial 1897 medal and if the person was in during the 1920's and an officer he would have / should have had at least a RAO or KO and more wartime decorations.

Dave Danner Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 If #4 is a Centenary, then #5 cannot be a Prussian Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen, as a Prussian decoration would come before a Prussian commemorative or service medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Could the 5th medal be a Hessen Medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I had a look again and it is very hard to see, but it could be the Hessen Bravery Medal. Why would it be at #5 and not at #3, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixhs Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I don`t think, that this one is ready to ID. May be a Godet one and of a navy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 the color looks light blue with red stripes and seems to match the standard hessen ribbon but could not be a bravery award as the location is wrong. . not my picture from a GMIC member in the hessen bars thread chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
