ADV1025 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I recently came across this medal bar that was for sale a few years ago. It has been on my mind ever since I saw it. My question is if there is any way we can trace its owner or at least a potential unit he served in and an estimated timeline of his career. He was a former policeman and served in the Anschluss judging from his 3R awards. Interestingly, he received the highest bravery orders from two respective countries: the Order of the Iron Trefoil (Croatia) and the Order of Bravery (Bulgaria). In addition, he also has a clasp on his Romanian Crusade against Communism medal which is a rare sight. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Krause Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Sorry to say so, but I do not belive, that this is an original contemporary bar. A bit too much of everything and as far as I see - a flat bottom bar, 99,5 percent of this style are reproductions. Greetings Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADV1025 Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Gentlemen, Thank you for your responses. I want to inquire further as to whether this combination is possible and if so, which unit would this possible person serve in? Perhaps Ordnungspolizei or one of those SS Polizei units? Thank you.

Greetings Daniel The Bulgarian Order looks OK This could be not a reproduction, but made up Yes Some more experienced members might figure out whether such combination is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 My gut tells me it’s an Austrian faker bar, a photo of reverse will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
