Okay, the first one is (I think) a Prussian 25-year Long Service Award, and number three is a HC with Swords, but what's the second one? And does anyone recognize the ribbon in position number four?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Complete guess. Looks like it's made out of jeans material.
Homemade ek ribbon?
Maybe not even period?
The holes in front could have been a pinned on iron cross.
It looks like it came with an ek, but was crudely replaced at some point.Comment

I doubt it's an EK ribbon, homemade or otherwise.
If the stripes that are stained blue, for some reason are supposed to be white, the only German medal that this could be would be the Iron Division Medal. But, it seems odd that it would be added after the Hindy, when it was actually banned in 1935.
If the stripes are supposed to be light blue, it could possibly be a Finnish medal. But, I don't know which one as it doesn't correspond to any that I know.
I'd carefully look under it to see if there was another ribbon mounted with the original mounting.Comment

The bar itself (backing material and brass pin/hinge/plate appear to be made by Gebruder Godet. The ribbons make no sense as the Africa and unknown ribbon are not mounted the same as the LS and Hindy. I think a nice original bar has been messed with.pseudo-expertComment

I would say the Erinnerungsmedaille der Eisernen Division?Comment

Original Frackbar made by Godet, Berlin.
The SWA Denkmünze and the strange ribbon were added later.
May be the missing two decorations were retourniert to the G.O.K., but allso it could be, that on pos. 1 there must have been an IC.Comment
