Thanks Blitz! Growing slowely but I am happy with what I have
Nice Bavarian junior officer PURE WW1 sew ribbon bar where EK2 is last. It's so pitty that most of the State bars had ruined by 1935 new regulations and because Hindi came out same time, most of the vets let they bar rearrange then.
Probably end of the war device... just a little pit lack of quality.
Very interesting "home made" bar with the:
