Great bar!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing,

This guy was a true veteran. He saw action in 1864,1866, the
war of 1870-71, a China campain medal and was still in until at
least 1895.
If I remember, this guy retired as a General. Have you ever tried
to find any of his other medals? I would bet there he would have had
a few neck ribbons and a house order or 2 pinned to him.
Very nice bar indeed. Congrats.

fine that it got a nice new home.
HE was born 1847 and died 1923.
HE had additional Red Eagle 2 with oaks around the neck and Crown 2 with star.
I did his ID as HIS bar was still in Tony Colsons collection.
Do You have the name?
Best regards

Tony loved it. I'm glad it found a good home with you. You guys were comrades right?Comment

Tony was a very good guy. I miss him here.
I believe he would have wanted you to have it.

If you ask him nicely I'll bet Glenn would give you a complete bio of the good general for Xmas!
