Wyomingguy Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I recently acquired the illustrated cross. I know the bar is not original but am curious as to any thoughts as to why it was attached. It has been on the ribbon for a long time and I would venture to say that it is period to the 1930s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 It was not uncommon in the interwar period for veterans to have private, unofficial bars produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackcowboyBS Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Interesting piece, but the year 1932 really makes no sence at all. The Hindenburg Cross was invented in 1934 and I can't recall anything happened in 1932 that was of significant importance to veterans of WW1.
