    OK, Now, thanks to the help of contributors we know what medals/ribbons were on Ludwig III's impressive medal bar. He wore a plain ribbon bar with his field gray Bavarian Field Marshal uniform.  What is the height (up and down) measure for the bar?  Looks to me like 4.5 or even 5 centimeters. Does anyone know?

    He also wore a narrower bar, probably 2.0 cm. (last picture).  I am interested in the taller bar.

    Well, sadly, no one has regs for the width of these ribbon bars so I went with 4.5cm. Here is my effort, below. 

    I will be making the medal bar but it will be a long slog because several of the gongs are not reproduced and are scarce as originals. We'll see.
