Oberst Schmidt - 7 Place Medal Bar

[Gary B]

Hi,

Attached is a nice medal bar attributed to Oberst Schmidt. The dagger is an ivory gripped Eickhorn on top of its zippered wool bag.

Beautiful bar Gary. Its a shame they couldn't manage to award im a spange to his ek2 vice the wmc2. What's his story?

[Gary B]

Dear Don,

I wish I knew more of Oberst Schmidt. The bar comes on the original tailor card stock with Oberst Schmidt's name on the reverse of the card. Unfortunately with a common name like Schmidt it is difficult to find out anything more about him. Too bad he did not have a more unique mane so I could research him.

Have you tried asking Rick Lundstrom over at GMIC? If anyone could find your man it's him.

bizarre

very unusual three-fer LS medal combo.
Looks pristine and I'd love to look at it close up.
It makes you wonder what a retread WW1 NCO (or maybe Deputed Officer) from Brunswick was doing to make it to O5 in 1940-45.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments.

Scott, the dagger, unfortunately is unattributed. I just used it as a backdrop.

Dion, yes it was a very nice piece from you. I am glad I spotted that before it hit the e-stand/your site!

Simon, thanks I will try Rick to see what he can come up with.

Gary, years ago! I loved that bar so much I never threw the pics away. I think Rick did research that bar????? I think 3 guys came up as a match, I cant remember.

[Gary B]

Dion,

I will check with Rick. If anyone can locate the owner he can. I vaguely recall that it was too difficult to narrow down due to the name "Schmidt".
