What would be really keen is if this was a bar that had a ribbon for the Awaloff cross second class w/swords for Russians fighting in the Germanic-Russian Army of the West.................

But that is one looooong stretch!



Too bad the crossed swords don't have a crown, because then I would be inclined to guess Randow second class.

so unidentifuably then?? pity that! thanks anyway guys!! by the by what was the randow cross sounds intresting?

[paddywhack]

just did a bit of a search there and it looks in deed like the Saxon Albert Order,but what about the secand one!!! very annoying that!! if the guy only had to awards and one was a officers award maybe a id would be possible??(i can hope!!!!)but that 2nd ribbion is realy annoying me!!!! the swords are german but the ribbion!!!!
thanks again!

green is also the color from saxon - so perhaps a ribbon from a veterans association?

would fit! maybe the guy didnt apply for the honar cross after ww1 or mybe its his bar before he got the honar cross though with swords on the green ribbion id of thought he would have had a set on the saxon order!!! if only we had the docs!!!

Looks like WW2 ostvolker ribbon bar:
1) ostvolker medal in silver without swords
2) ostvolker medal in bronze with swords
Such pin used on german awards shortly before WW2.
