Looks o.k. to me-a Stahlhelm member I'd bet. From @1922-1935.

[Canutt]

Thanks Jeff!

Very fast!

Only one doubt:

Why the Kyffhäusser medal has not the swords? Is not in contrast with the EK and the swords on the Ehrendenkmünze?

Mario,

because there are no swords on the Kyffhäuser Medal

I guess, you have seen it on ribbon-bars with swords?

Hi Gerd,
thanks for the answer.
I've seen the swords on the Kyffhäuser Medal mounted on medal bar several times, for example this is from Weitze.
The swords mean front line service, isn't it?

Hi Mario,

yes, swords meant frontline-service. But on medalbars with Weimar decorations you often see swords on awards, which had no swords. It was more of a fashion-thing, the more swords, the better

Thanks Gerd!

Hallo,

I've just recived the bar but I've a doubt: the suspension rings of the Kyffhäusser-Denkmünze and the Verdienstmedaille PLKV look like little ring we are used to use for home keys, is that correct?

regards,
Mario

hy mario,
the original rings are really small - will fit, if you sew a medalbar together, but they don't if you want to wear them on a medalbar like this!
so the wearer changed the rings that the medals where put properly on the medalbar.
so i don't think there is nothing wrong with it!
hope i could help you to get off any doubts on the medalbar - its a real and nice one christian

Looks good to me Mario - Enjoy

Nice grouping, butt-ugly bar.

This guy was a real vet; wether it was frontline in the trenches or elsewhere....whoever he was he deserved those four medals.
Cheers to this unknown frontkampfer.

[Canutt]

Thank you very much to all!


ciao,

Ciao Mario!
I am sure you have already noticed, but the ring on the PLKV (Preussischer Landes Krieger Verband) Cross may seen a bit "rough", but that is explainable by the fact that the manufacturer's name (H[einrich] Timm is stamped on it.
Saluti,
