Extremely rare 1870-71 Medal bar
This bar is going to be sold at the next auction of Herrn Zeige...
I have never seen an example of a IC 2nd class with the "Wiederholungspangen 1914" over the 25 years oak leaves on a medal bar! That must be very rare indeed. Any comments on the bar?
Since I have been collecting I never so such a bar. This guy must have been quite old by 1914 (between 65-70) but he still managed to receive a couple of decorations during WWI, too (probably as nicht-Kämpfer, see the KVK 2nd Class of Braunschweig). Notice also that the IC 2nd class 1870 is a in "Prinzengrösse" or better said 3/4 size. Quite something, isn't?
Ciao,
Claudio
