A State a Day- Oldenburg - RG 91

[Emanuel]

Greetings and good evening all,
I think it's time to expand the "A state a Day" thread with a new Duchy, this time Oldenburg which happens to be one of my favorites.

I take the opportunity also to say that is not only welcome -if you do not have a problem of course - Medal bars from Oldenburg, FA crosses I and II class, orders of this Duchy, but also pictures and historic informations from Regiment 91 , one of the most historical regiments that had big losses in WW 1.

Thus, we will have a complete picture of the Duchy, with Military decorations, Orders from this small Duchy, photo documents from Soldiers and of course any kind of information from Regiment 91 that we can gather.

I will start with a medal Bar that I have and a FA Cross I class Prinzen size.
Please do not hesitate to post your goodies,we can make a unique library here for this little Duchy

Oldenburg medal bar

Here is a typical 3 piece medal Bar from Oldenburg with Prussian Iron cross II class, Oldenburg FA cross II class and Hindy cross.
The FA cross is the typical you can find on many medal bars but unfortunatelly we do not have mark makers on these crosses but some manufavturers was known for making FA crosses like KNAUER for example.
