IMO it is common. A bar with the FA + clasp is not so common IMO.


In rough lines.......when a sitizen of a state was awarded with the Iron Cross second class he also received a state decoration. They wore them next to the Iron Cross. Iron Cross first and next the state medal. Sometimes the State medal first.

Heel erg bedankt / Thanks a lot for explanation Green

A friend of mine told me that :

"If the FA cross or bar is no magnetic they are made during '20 or '30."
This could help to identify the correct era ?

Just use the search word "Vor dem Feinde " in this forum and you find a lot of interessting threads about the clasp

The 'Vor dem Feinde' clasp is not a typical colour, usually these are blackened iron.

The whole bar was made in 1934 or later beacuse it includes Ehrenkreuz des Weltkriegs (called Hindenburg Cross), instituted 1934. But with using original, earlier awarded decorations. Only the clasp "Vor dem Feinde" looks to be replacement from the 1930's

Thanks a lot.

The spange it's appear not iron but bronze/gilded color, the artificial light changed the reflex.
