    Medal bar opinions needed!

    Good afternoon Gentlemen
    A dear friend of mine wants to buy this bar and wanted my opinion I said it looked nice but I'm no expert on these things.
    Can you please offer advice on if the set up is not reconstructed!
    Kind regards Chay

        Only on the ribbon bar we can see the right precedence, on medal bar sequence is wrong.

          Yes. The medal bar is.....strange.

              Gentlemen,
              Sometimes can the arrangement be sometimes historical error?
              I don't know?
              Kind regards Chay

                It can on some non-regulation bars, however you must be careful with them. EK equivalents (gallantry awards) of the various states are rarely placed behind the EFK by any recipients or mounters.

                  Thank you!
                  This is an interesting scenario, the bar is a 1000e and I wonder should I inform him to avoid or go ahead?

                    I like it, it happened, unless he's a perfectionist who cares. However, the price seems a little excessive.

                      I don't like also the back cloth. Bottom edge has irregular cutouts, made by common shears, not by professional tailor scissors.

                        I wouldn't be put off by the back cloth, that kind of irregular edging is common on original bars, I'd take it as a good sign.

                          He was not in service when he had the bar assembled. I'm betting he is a Prussian, with Prussian/National awards mounted first and then state/city state awards after the Hindy (a national commemorative). The ribbon bar was probably done when he was called up for service in WW2 and is in the correct sequence. He would have worn that for day to day wear in uniform.

                          Close ups of the ribbons will tell us if all the parts are pre 45.

                            Sure, the decorations, ribbons and other parts are good You are right, the ribbon bar and medal bar could be just made in different periods.

                              I have no problems with it. IMO configuration is correct for a post 1934 medal bar: Laendermedals are placed after Hindy, so the ribbon bar does not have the right sequence but as that is not an expensive item I would not be put off by it.
