The non-fightingman

[Scott Powell]

römischIX, Vince i REALLY enjoyed seeing the bars, thank you for posting

[römischIX]

nice ones. i want to see the backside of the italian medal...

[VtwinVince]

Joe, it says 'ricordo' on the back.

[römischIX]

i.m.o. an italian commemorative medal. nichts offizielles.

[VtwinVince]

Let's keep this one going. Here's an early Saxon group, with something a little nicer than usual

[VtwinVince]

I assume this one is from a 'non-fighting woman'?

[VtwinVince]

You sharp-eyed types should spot what's really nice about this humble little group

The NC commemorative.

[römischIX]

non no women`s piece. women wore a "damenschleife" and no regular
medal bars. the bar was worn by a non-comb. who served in the "kriegsfürsorge" for a long time. (red cross medal 2nd class in silver was
awarded about 8500 times)

[saschaw]

It may well be woman's, but as well a male's. We don't know and won't.

Joe, some women did indeed were medal bars.

hm. the medals are very very wrong.... only the i.c. is at the right place.

[VtwinVince]

Wayne, that will be a nice one once you get the right awards on there. I think number three is from Hessen, or? And the last one should be a Prussian Red Cross medal.

[VtwinVince]

Here is one from Baden, with the Silver Merit Medal on civilian ribbon. It is the later coinage, without the die-cutter's mark.

Very nice Vince!

Here is my new one from Bayern
