Nice Police medal-bar including imperial awards

[JensF.]

Just got this nice medal-bar which was worn by a Erich Flake from Bochum. He was an police officer after WWI and got:

EK2, Hindenburg Cross, Medal of the Red Eagle Order (type until 1916), Long Service 12 years, Police Long Service 25 years and hungarian WWI Commemorative. The medal-bar came together with the original case.

I suspect he joined the army in 1908-1910 and was a Feldwebel like rank in WWI, maybe as a Feldgendarm and joined the police around 1918-1919. However he did something special enough to get the Red Eagle Medal in or before 1916.

He also got the KVK 2 1939 with swords and the Luftschutz-Ehrenzeichen in WWII.

Jens,

That is a very nice bar indeed. Especially the RAO-Medaille is quite rare to be seen on such bars. Congrats!

Ciao,

Very rare indeed!

I can count on one hand how many RAO Medals I've seen in the last 5 years! Especially rare IMO mounted! Congratulations Jens on an outstanding medal bar! And the case!
