      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

        Daniel

            Wow-I do remember that bar. That takes me back a couple of years.
            Tony loved it. I'm glad it found a good home with you. You guys were comrades right?

                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!

                    Very nice spange. I have a nice oldtimer with six battle clasps on the KDM, and interestingly the Spicheren is spelled Spichern.
