Opinion please medals bar.

I like it but would like to see a bit more of that first ribbon. It looks a bit weird. It should be a ribbon for the MVK - and I see parts of this ribbon - but it seems also to be the ribbon for an EK or a Hohenzollern award. If the first ribbon is correct I would buy it myself.

It doesnt look that bad, if we see the first Ribbon and the "blue" part, we may have a "Beamte MVK", but more pictures would be great to have.

I do not like the MVK1X. Looks like cold enamel was used to upgrade a MVK3X. There are many bubbles and voids not usually seen. The cross on top of the crown is totally buried. They did a nice job not filling in all of the buckle but the rest is not what I would want to see. As that piece is the money of the bar, I would pass on it.

Interesting point. I was wondering about those spots but dismissed these as damage. This process of cold enamel upgrading is that something that occurred in the period (as a sort of economy measure) or is this post period fakery?

Agreed, this cross looks strange. I belive, that in an original the white enamel should be on same level as inscriptions and medallion border. Here seems to be a little depressed.

The MVK1 mit Kr. u. Schw. is a modern forgery (probably made from a MVK3 mit Kr. u. Schw.). The ribbon looks like an original ribbon for Military Officials. The remainder of the bar looks OK to me. The bar is only worth the value of the medals without the MVK1 mit Kr. u. Schw.
