Unusual / Unique Medal Groups

[Zulu_00]

Hi all, has anyone here seen or owned any unique or rare medal combinations? I've labelled this as British medals but any unique or rare combinations are welcome!

 

Pictured is a group from a thread on unusual groups featuring QSAs or ABOs from the Anglo-Boer War Forum.

Do miniature medals count? This miniature medalbar to Adolphus of Teck is in my collection. The gold 1897 medal makes this unique or otherwise very rare.

Single most unique group I've ever seen. Infantryman in WW2 in the Wehrmacht and RCAF padre in his later years.

Wow, you don't often see the CD mounted with an EK2!

Please share pics of rare or unusual groups if you have any!

On that groups ribbon bar there is a ww1 victory medal, how is he entitled to that if he was fighting on the side of the Germans and won a EK2nd class?

On this page it says Victory Medal II WW - maybe someone misread it and used a I WW medal ribbon.
