Small baden (?) ribbon bar

[Tupper]

My uncle gave me this small ribbon bar a couple minutes ago. What do you think about this combination? He's unsure.

Thank you for your answer. Yes he's. Overall very unsure about this bar.

In my opinion, the bar looks quite proper.  Original, pre-1945 ribbons, correct hardware, moleskin-wool backing material with professional-looking hand-stitching...  I don't see any issues.

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much. I will tell him ?

I agree, nice Feldschnalle.

Thank you ?

Hello all, it's me again. Is this a non combatant bar? Because there are no swords on the Hindenburg cross. 

 

I thought the baden war merit medal is a combat award

Could very well be an award of the EK on war ribbon for 'Heimat-Verdienste'.

Nice and interesting bar; I find it interesting that he has a EKII and Silver Merit Medal with a Hindu Cross without swords. It would be awesome to find out the history of the original owner.

I rather don't think so. Baden's Silberne Verdienstmedaille am Bande der Militärischen Karl-Friedrich-Verdienstmedaille was no non-combatant award. The war merit cross was, however, more or less! I think this was awarded as a "normal" Iron Cross, maybe to someone in the Etappe. But probably not at home.
