Medal bar and two EK1...

[leba75]

Hello.
I bought recently this beautiful medal bar.
All badges (IMO) are original.
But ... This is the opinion of a great collector from our forum:

"(...)however the combination of the awards is pretty weird; reservist württemberg Officer with the minuscule Waldeck principality... I would have loved to see the documents(...)"

I don't have any documents, although I'd love to have them...

"(..)There might be a connection between this württemberg infantry regiment and Waldeck:

http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/IR_126

One of his commanders (Oberst) was an aristocrat Prinzessin von Waldeck (1735-1736)... Coincidence? I don't know...(...)"

I also don't know.
So, I would know your opinions.

I reflect on this pin. What does can serve? Some extra badge?

Two new EK in the collection, the first very popular - everyone has in the collection But it looks cute...
Second, no known manufacturer. IMO the same as shown in this thread:

It's a spring for securing the main pin that is locked in the catch.
Very nice bar, congratulations!

What is the mark on the lower left corner of the EKII? As for the medal bar it is a beautiful bar congrats

nice selection of awards but my favorite is the 2nd Ek1. IMO a great core design
and as you say, yours has lots of character.

Nice stuff you show here.

Actually that one-piece Schickle EK1 has a pretty uncommon nut. Most of them don't have the looped wings but rather have a molded/cast nut with integral thumbscrews.

I don't know the maker of the second EK1 either but it's got a nice look to it.

The FOIX is a late war one. IMO a Landwehr-Captain.

The bar is fantastic

A lovely bar, but I thought the Friedrich Bathildis was a purely civilian war service award? I would still want this one though.
