    Slovak Ribbon on German Bar?


    Recommended Posts

    I recently got these two ribbon bars, which obviously belonged to a Baden native. The last ribbon on the longer bar has been puzzling me since then, I had never seen it before. It was obviously improvised by the outfitter, see the picture. Could this be one of the ribbons for the Slovak Bravery Medal?

    Hello!

    According to the last photo.

    The left one is the bulgarian war medal 1914-1918 with swords.

    The right one is unknown to me. Is the middle stripe blue or black? As far as I know, the slovakian medal of bravery (1940) had a blue middle stripe

    Yes, right. The second to last ribbon in the bottom picture is the Bulgarian war medal. 

     

    The stripe in the middle of the last ribbon is blue, so yes, it could have been this ribbon for the Slovak Bravery Medal:

    I have only seen the second and third class on german ribbon bars, but never the first. It seems to be very rare in general. 

     

    The only bar I can show is this one to an Oberfeldarzt with the second class among other foreign awards.

    Coincidentally he is seen on a photograph with Generalleutnant Kurt Beuttel, whom bar I have as well. What a small world!
