It may actually be possible ,as he was a ww1 vet ,got the 39 clasp, was in the police earned the olympic cross, and involved in the annexations, and was in prague. Id say the olympic roster is where i'd start if i were trying to find who owned it. The thing that bothers me, is there used to be a guy who set up at the great western, that made up bars in the 80s,and on, that made them so well, you couldnt tell them from the originals, not that this one is one of those, but i can recall having original bars before then, with as many as 10 medals on a bar, that came out of vet finds back in the 60s. But after I sold the ones i found at the time, i was fearful to buy any since, because of that guy at pomona.. Most I had in the 60s were usually with ww1 hungarian,bavarian, and austrian medals intermixed, and a couple nazi medals but saw few with that many with all german on them at the time. I hope you do find out,and can attribute that fine bar, as an olympic medal on any bar is a difficult one to score .
Nice bunch in the posting, and I especially like the one with the godet maker on the back. Too bad you dont have shots of the original owners wearing them for all the attributed ones to go with the posting. Maybe in the future they will turn up to add.

Ah Yes your talking about James Long from Cincinnati, his work still pops up to this day
