Hello gents, I'd love to hear your opinion on this WWI medal bar set. What is the medal to the right? And also is the backing correct? I've never seen one like it.

German Legion of Honor .
The German Legion of Honor was a veterans commemorative award of the Weimar Republic. The award was created in the 1920s under the authority of a "High Council of German Honor" composed of former German veterans, many of whom had served as high-ranking officers or even as generals during World War I. The award was presented apparently for civic accomplishments in peacetime by former veterans, with the criteria including the requirement that the recipient be an "excellent comrade and friend worthy of honor". The High Council of German Honor was also connected extensively with the Freikorps movement and frequently awarded the decoration as a paramilitary award.
Also found with a sword attachment. -
The backing is not like anything I've seen before, so I'd say it's replaced.Comment
