Mark M Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Can anyone help ID this award? It is currently on a Bavarian medal bar but I doubt it is original to the bar. The award has the dates 1870 1871 on the reverse. Sorry for the poor photos.Thanks,Mark[attachmentid=41558] [attachmentid=41559] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 JanThank you for the quick ID. The award is currently hanging from a Bavarian Luitpold ribbon so I doubt it is original to the bar. Regards,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
