Very nice! Always a bonus to have a maker's tag on the reverse.Comment

That's a great set.
I don't blame you for being proud of it. The junior officer assesment is right as well, since there is a post 1917 Karl bravery medal awarded to enlisted personnel. Probably got it as a Fahnrich or possibly a NCO who later got a reserve commision.

Geez Louise is that a sweet bar!
I'd like to fondle that just for a minute or two.... (is that wrong???) 
What makes that an "officer's" bar? It must be the enamelled Austrian medal, correct? What's it signify?Thanks,

The Cross for Military Merit is a officers only award. He most likely got it in 1918 after he was commisioned. He also had a nice set of awards for a NCO/ enlisted man.Comment
