03fahnen Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Good Morning I have several doubts about this ribbon bar 1. Which medal corresponds to the last ribbon? 2. As you can see, it is a pin for an officer who was in the colonial wars. My question is, is the first ribbon from an Iron Cross won in the First World War? Or could it be another medal? Any thoughts on it will be well received. As always thank you very much
Daniel Krause Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 For me it looks nice and legit. 1st place ist most likely a RedEagle Order 4th class with swords. Last ribbon could be a hessian Philipp-Order. Best, Daniel
03fahnen Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 Thank you very much Daniel Krause. For me it looks very good, and if it seems to be Hessian Philipp-Order, it is true that the border of the last tape looks like light blue. I was looking for it as white, instead of light blue.
Daniel Krause Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 Most likely that bar belonged to Gustav Seelmann-Eggebert, 1868-1949 In 1914 he was a Major in Telegraphen-Bataillon No. 3, later Armee-Nachrichten-Kommandeur 5, latest rank LtCol. uo to 1914 all his awards are present at the bar: Red Eagle 4 with X, Crown Order 4, Long Service Cross, SWA, China, Hess. Philipp knight 2nd class. In WW1 he could add the "usual Iron Crosses", Bavarian Military merit Order 4th class with crown and swords and Wuertt. Order of the Crown knight with swords Best, Daniel 2
