    Help wanted indentifying Medal bar

    Hello,

    I got this Kriegsmarine tunic which apperently has WW1 medals on the medal bar. Knowing very little about Kriegsmarine and even less about ww1 marine. I would like your help to indentify these medals?

    For all pictures see original thread:
    http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/Foru...d.php?t=718724

    IMO it is a leutnant?
    Thx for the help

      Was it a marine custom to wear WW1 decorations on a WW2 uniform?
      Why did they receive decorations from different german regions?
      Would it have been realistic to presume this man had all these different medals?
      thx for the advice

        I do not believe that the ribbon bar goes with the tunic. It is not a typical WWI Navy ribbon bar. The ribbon bar is of the Bavarian type with Bavarian awards on it.

        The name on the tunic is Ranst. There was a paymaster with that name in the Imperial German Navy but he did not have those awards.
