CRBeery Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Here is a simple little bar I picked up at OMSA this past summer. Sometimes I see a bar like this and it just speaks to me. Should I flip the first medal? I know it is technically backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utgardloki Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I would flip it, but You can document it was the other way when You got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurentius Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The medalbar is lovely, unlike the behaviour of some collectors here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger7 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 If "the first medal" is the Lippe cross - don't flip it. It is perfectly right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Tztztz...lovely nice little bar...everything fits including the swords on the ribbon (showing that the former owner awarded the silver cross during the war 1870/71 and "awarded" in 1912 as a veteran). By the way, here is a very similar medalbar from my collection, unfortunately without swords.... Best regards Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 This is the first time Ive seen that medal on a bar. How many times was it awarded? Is it a valor medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRBeery Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) 392 awards of this cross. Roman- great bar. I visited your page when I first brought this home. Great resource for collectors! Edited December 29, 2019 by CRBeery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a valor medal? No, not only a valor award, it was also awarded by non-combatants, e.g. teachers. It was somehow turned into a valor award for the veterans of the war 1870/71 by spending later the swords for the ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
