medal bar for review

[brasstax]

Hello, gents! I've recently come across a medal bar, and while I'm doing my own research on it, I'm curious about what anyone here would be able to add as far as authenticating or even tying an identity to the (former) owner. My information is that these are coming from the estate of Roeder von Diersburg.

No photos showing for me either....

Sorry, had an argument with the links.

First of all, the third medal from last is the 1906 Jubilee Medal, not the Friedrich-Luisen Medaille. From what i can see seems like an nice medal bar. the lack of a 1902 Baden jubilee medal shows that the wearer got into service between 1902 and 1906.

There's a chance he is identifiable. He stayed in after WW1.

I may actually have one.

From the evidence thus far, and after tracing how the bar came to be sold, I am convinced this is the medal bar of Generalleutnant Kurt Frieherr Röder von Diersburg.

What is the source of your evidence?

Gerdan's page, and also his daughter recently passed away nearby, and it's through her estate the vendor was selling the bar. It's more or less straight from the family. I'm pinging the vendor for some supporting evidence.

Can you post a straight shot of the reverse of the bar please? It looks good from these photos.

Kind regards

Here's a straight reverse, flash on so you can see the stitching (green felt w black thread). I would post details of the medals themselves but the whole thing is stitched together and I don't want to disassemble it.

Totally awesome man, really! I'm green from envy!!!
