Opinions on this 2 medal bar please.

[Kev in Deva]

Hallo Gentlemen,

here is a two medal bar spange I picked up a short while ago in Romania.

My questions concerning this are:

a, does it look right?

b, is the combination possible?.

I believe its for a medal / Cross from the State of Saxony, and the Prussian service medal, please correct me if I am wrong.

Is that the scale to hang full sized medals on? That "British" style was a mutant 1930s sub-variety, normally.

What you have is the saxe-Weimar-Eisenach "General Decoration" which came in bronze, silver, and gold-- apparently a peacetime one here since there is no grotesque rectangular bar with swords, and a Prussian long service award. The first ribbon could also be a SWE long service award-- say an ex-Army NCO who went into the Gendarmerie. same ribbon.

Perfectly fine.

(Better to post Imperial stuff IN Imperial and I have moved this from "Guest Valuations")

...... and, the absence of the whonkin'-huge swords bar doesn't necessarily equate to a peace-time award. Many men simply didn't mount the device due to the clumsiness/size.
