Thoughts on medal bar ?

[scottplen]

I believe may have had swords on Bavarian cross ? A mix of Non combat and combat ?

I believe the bar had MVO, Hindy cross, Red Cross medal and service cross missing and restored, you can see the sloppy mounting work on these ones compare to the rest of medals on this bar.

Nevertheless an interesting medal bar with Prussian, Bavarian, Wurttemberg and Austrian specimens. Congratulations.

Given the relative rarity of non-swords awards, even on the "Beamtenband", compared to awards with swords, I agree it's likely the Bavarian MVO had its swords removed.

I agree, this one was definitely messed with at some point.
