Hello all. I am wanting to recreate this medal bar with the medals it would have had originally. It came with the MVK 3 w/crown. The MVK does not appear to have had swords removed. I'm interested in your comments on the following:
1. MVK - It appears that the ribbon bar was designed to accommodate a MVK w/crown as the clip on that ribbon is higher than the EKII & LS ribbons. Thus creating a level appearance of the bottom of the medals. Is it correct for the MVK without swords to have been issued on this ribbon?
2. EKII - To make it more historically correct, is there a certain EKII maker that should be on this bar? I ask because of the MVK in first position. Obviously a loyal Bavarian and likely assembled there against the EKII in first place regulation. (Or would assemblers do whatever the paying customer asked?) Therefore, a maker from southern Germany? Or a KO?
3. What LS award would be most likely? I have them all (9, 12, 15, 24 yrs).
I also note that the reverse pin clasp is on the opposite side from what is the norm. I have seen this before however.
Rest assured that I am not creating this to sell as an original piece. I am simply reconstructing it for my personal collection and want to try to be historically accurate. Thanks in advance for your input.
