8-Place Medal Bar from Show of Shows

[Tom Yanacek]

Hello to all,
Here is a medal bar that I brought home with me from the Show of Shows in Louisville this weekend. I saw alot of common medalbars at the show that were ridiculously over-priced, then there was this gem of an Imperial/Third Reich combination bar. It was very reasonably priced, and too good to pass up.
Best regards! Tom

Paul,
last is the 1918 Bavarian Golden Jubilee Wedding medal, which was manufactured during 1918, but only issued unofficially post-WW1 by the Bavarian crown prince.

Regards
Chris
