5 Medal Frak Bar – Bayern, Preußen, Reuss and Braunschweig

[Heran]

Hi All,

This is my last addition, a nice 5 Medal Bar from 4 different German States. The combination is not common and not easy to find, especially with the Ehrenkreuz from Reuss.

The Bar contains the following Orden and Medals:

1) Bayern: Militär-Verdienstorden IV. Klasse mit Schwertern (Hemmerle), pre 1917.
2) Bayern: Militär-Verdienstkreuz III. Klasse mit Schwertern (Deschler)
3) Preußen: Eisernes Kreuz 1914 II. Klasse.
4) Reuss: Fürstliches Ehrenkreuz III. Klasse mit Schwertern.
5) Braunschweig: Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse.

The maker of this Medal bar was Max Weise from Gera. This was (in my opinion) a Medal Bar from a soldier (later Officer) from Fürstentum Reuß (jüngerer Linie), who, instead of joining the preußische Armee (7. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 96), decided to join the Bavarian one.

Any opinions? (Bad or good)

Best Regards

Antonio

I am not an expert on Frak Bars or Medal Bars and the types of combinations of different awards on them.

All I can say is "Wow", what a beautiful Frak Bar! It is in fantastic condition!

Congratulations!

Hi dia ischd en Ordnung

It s a good one. Nice pics.

Rarer combination, bavarian frackbars are not so easy to find. I think he was Unteroffzier and later he served as a leutnant. He was a bavarian may be with
Reuss-roots.

I know cases, in which the 3rd class with X was also given to unteroffiziere
and not only to EM.
