    I suppose there is a tiiiiiiny chance someone with an 1870 EK also had a KVM or KVK2 (Probably without swords)

    Chances are better if you leave the field of EKs: There were probably some few men who won an 1870 KDM and were still "active" in one or the other way to get, as you say, a KVK or a KVK medal.

    Closest I have in my collection is a medal bar to a veteran of 1870 (no EK winner, though) who got a "Hindenburg cross" without swords in 1934/35 and had his awards newly mounted, in his mid-80s...

    :o

    I have a 66 veteran, which earned his IC non combatant in 1914. Thats my oldest guy. He also got the RAO 4 with "50".

    I know a collector who has a bar with 1848/1864/1866/1870 medal, IC 1870 & China campaign and SWA (both for non combatants)

    Unfortunately he won`t sell it :(

    one of my favourite bars for non combatants:

    A high decorated jewish guy with 3 (!) non combatant awards:

    You're right, that's an amazing bar

     

    I would love to see pictures of some of the bars mentioned above :)

    Even mine, although it doesn't have an EK in it? Sorry I'm highjacking the thread... we're far from 1939 EKs now!1597075021_A281a-5erOrdensspangePreueneinesreakt.Reserve-oderLandwehroffiziersmitLD118701914um1934mitzweiGefechtsspangen.thumb.jpg.1d7b7de81d606a242decf8e8d60ae727.jpg1086892699_A281b-5erOrdensspangePreueneinesreakt.Reserve-oderLandwehroffiziersmitLD118701914um1934mitzweiGefechtsspangen.thumb.jpg.d861ae50641ab39ec7926f830eba30a0.jpg
