Possibly the DAO (German Eagle Order) with Swords, Spanish Campaign Medal with Romanian Air Force wings device, Romanian Medal for Bravery, Manhood & Loyalty 3rd Class in Bronze with Swords.
The hook has snapped off and the last award has one crimp missing and the other is clinging on at the end.

the first ribbon looks more like the medal of annexation to Austria to which swords have been added. The ribbon for a German Eagle Order has the thickest black lines. The second ribbon is not the medal of the Spanish campaign
The order in which they appear also would not be logical because if he was a German soldier he could not have been awarded the Order of the German Eagle, if he was a foreign soldier he would first have to show the decorations of his country and then the German decoration.
I am inclined to think that he was a German soldier with the Sudeten annexation medal who was later awarded two foreign medals of valor

-So Sudeten anschluB but the swords (inadvertently added).
-Spanish Civil war medal (but with Romanian airforce pilot wing eagle device added?)
-Romanian bravery medal with swords
Well I bought it for $49...albeit it being embellished I like ribbon bars with foreign awards!
So possibly a German soldier involved with the AnschluB operations in Sudetenland, and before that participating in the Spanish civil war and also earning a Romanian bravery medal...Last edited by NickG; 04-17-2020, 12:54 AM.

In this case the swords may have been "inadvertely added" because the original Anschluss device was removed or broke off and the owner just wanted to plug the hole by using the most common ribbon bar device he could find: swords.
