excellent find...Always nice to have the set.

I have but a couple of medal bars with awards related to Luftwaffe service, this one being the larger of the two. What I genuinely enjoy about this medal bar is that the recipient not only was awarded the 1914 EK II, but that it also has the accompanying 1939 EK II Spange attatched to its related Iron Cross, plus the individual saw service in the east, and in North Africa.

Great piece, Jim P

can you lift up the Silesian eagle to see if there is a maker mark on the reverse, up by the upper rivets? Maybe the Meybauer shield?

[J Temple-West]

Rick,

The one on the bar is unmarked...However, here is a 1st class Silesian eagle from the Meybauer Company.

Ah yes...

part of the fun with medal bars is having displays with matching ribbon bars, appropriate pinback awards, some insignia tastefully sprinkled around...

Sadly, I have (gasp!!!!!!) NO Luftwaffe medal bars! Ribbon bars, sure, but no medal bars. Only army, navy, RAD, and civil service. Sold my Police and Fire ones.

Alas, I'm in the same boat as RR I only have ribbon bars.

My first post at GMIC; sounds like a great group of folks. Please be patient with my first photo posting attempts...

Thanks. Scott

[Scott]

Well, that seemed to work ok (I had to re-size my pics to meet new-guy requirements). Here's my only other Luft bar...

[J Temple-West]

A very nice bar you have there, Scott. I particularly like the 'Schinkel' EK2 which makes it that little bit extra-special.

A warm welcome to the club, btw..

[Scott]

Thanks John. My interest is mostly in early Luftwaffe, but I sometimes stray to other areas. There are some fantastic bars shown in this thread - I look forward to seeing more.

Cheers.

Very nice bars everyone!

Frank,

That is the first LW Medal bar I have seen with the African Service Medal!

I am still without a LW medal bar... One day...

Hi folks,

Nice to see such great LW medal bars! I do not have so many, but I allow me to do my humble contribution for this topic.

[Douglas Jr.]

Another one. Very simple, but I really enjoy it!

[Douglas Jr.]

The last one from Luftwaffe (up to now )
