landsknechte Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Found this photo buried on my hard drive. Anyone recognize the gold cross between the Hindenburg Cross and the long service medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91-old-inf-reg Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Bavarian Security service award for 20 years, and a very very nice example at that! The original ribbon is great! https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/sicherheitsdienst-auszeichnung-2-klasse-fur-20-jahre.html Edited July 16 by 91-old-inf-reg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in the link has a thin blue edge stripe outside of the white, while the one on the medal bar has the white on the outside. Bit of a long story, but the ribbon on the bar is one of my weird research interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91-old-inf-reg Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 You’re right, simple mistake. Although that being said, it probably just came down to the manufacturer of the bar didn’t have that specific ribbon in stock and use a similar one as a stand in, but that’s just conjecture on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It haunted me for years. I eventually found a medal bar with that ribbon used with a Bavarian veteran's association medal attached. That's been my only lead, and the medal bar leaves a little bit of doubt because the medals clip on similar to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
