I personally havent seen the WWI EK awards along with the WWII EK awards on a mini lapel chain before....am sure there are many, but my first...making this a 12 award chain....the Gold Wound badge has the "O" mark on reverse....

Great looking chain with a super selection of awards.......
True, if rules are followed, then only the 25 & 12 year should be on there, but as we have seen many times before, veterans often had all the awards they won on chains, ribbonbars etc.
Often more than one class of a certain badge or clasp are found together, for example if a guy won Silver and Bronze CCC's he should really only display the highest....but many liked to show both!!!

Super nice mini chain and Nigel is right about the long service awards. My guess is this belonged to an Army staff officer of probably a fairly high rank. One would guess with the Gold Imperial Wound Badge, he had some serious wounds in WWI. Due to the Service Awards would have served during the Weimar period. The lack of any WWII combat badges leads me to believe a staff officer and possibly with some disability from the wounds received in WWI. Who know, just my thoughts when viewing this fine mini.
Thanks for posting Pink!
Best,
Jeff
