    Making sense of an odd old 7x ribbon bar


    Recommended Posts

    I posted this bar ages ago, in 2005 or so, and we never really got beyond head-scratching at the time.  I remain just as confused as ever.  I thought that I'd float it again, in the event that perhaps it would make sense to a new face or in light of new research.    

     

    As best I can tell...

    #1 could be:

    1909 Nassau Errinerungsmedaille or

    Order of Civil and Military Merit of Adolph of Nassau  or

    Pre-1913 Prussian XXI long service or
    #2. Finland Cross of Liberty 2nd Class
    #3. DSWA
    #4. Dutch Order of Oranje-Nassau
    #5. Finland War of Independence Commemorative
    #6. Prussian War Merit Cross
    #7. Lippe-Detmold KVK2 for combatants

     

    A second ribbon bar is (or was) owned by another forum member, with same decorations plus a sword device on #4.  I'm having trouble tracking down the photo that I saved of the rear of their bar at the moment, but I remember that one having red backing material instead of green.  Whatever this is, the second bar would suggest that this was actually done on purpose.

     

    Anyone have any thought on this one, and what it all adds up to?
