Help to ID

[M35]

I have done my best to research what the 3 ribbons are on this bar. I know that the one on the left is the Prussian Cross for war aid and the one farthest to the right is for the WWI Honor Medal, but I am unable to find what the middle ribbon represents? Anyone familiar with that one?

The second item is a heavy iron medallion of some sort with the deer and hunting scene as you see. It has no markings of any kind and no fasteners of any kind. What would this have been used for and what time period does it fall in?

Again, any help is much appreciated!

Cheers,
Terry

The iron hunting scene are broken off something.

I think it’s probably in style late 19th century

Center ribbon is for unofficial WW1 commemorative cross "Treu dem Regiment". There were many ribbons used depending on unit (artillery, infantry, garde, etc), if I remember correctly, this one represents cavalry.

Thank you kindly to both Nicolai and Miro for this information. Very helpful!

It looks like a clamshell broken from a German hunting dagger (hirshfanger)

Seems possible. Thanks for the idea.

Third ribbon is the Honor Legion Medal, first is a Prussian War Aid Cross.

Thanks ME109. (My favorite war plane!)

I am assuming these are all common medals/ribbons, so not a valuable ribbon bar??

Thanks to all who have responded.

Cheers,

Hi Terry,

Actually not common with the full-size ribbons, and keep in mind that both the regimental cross and Honor Legion were defunct on bars after 1934.

This is the bar of a WW1 noncombatant who probably continued his military service in the Reichswehr or Freikorps
and therefore required a ribbon bar for his uniform.

It is a nice bar for a Weimar-period collector.

Thanks for the additional information. All good things to know.
