What have i bought????

[heinrich66]

Hello,

i just bought this lot on ebay - the price was fair - my main interest was the fire service medal, but there're some imperial awards with it. What the hell are the 2 similar ones? (one is on the bar with the ic)

Possibly Kyffhäuser Vetearan awards?

Looks like the Kyf. device on one of them, & they are similar in outline to one in my collection, just that on mine the areas between the arms of the crosses are'nt completely filled.

I can't quite make them out. Can you enlarge it a bit?
Thanks,

Hello,

click on the image to enlarge it.

Even enlarged it's hard to tell, but, yes, the one on the bar looks like aKyffhauser. It should have a black and white laddered ribbon. The one to the right of the bar is an Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. Below the EK looks like a regimental medal. Below the Kyffhauser, possibly some kind of Kyffhauser watch fob? Lower right a veterans' organisation pin. From the ribbon colors probably Bavarian.

Hello,

it is 100% NOT the Kyffhäuser Verdienstkreuz 2.Klasse, it looks different. I would say it is some kind of a private "award" from a Schützenverein (gunners club...) or something like that, they often had ribbons like this, mostly green or green-white (the hunters colour). But the picture is really too small, maybe a close up of the cross?

Definately a better photo of the cross, and even one of the ribbon, would be very helpful.

No, it is a veteran decoration ("Kriegervereinsauszeichnung"), not a real order ...

Hello,

thanks all for kind input. I'll post some better pics when the lot arrives.
