    It is upside down in your photo. May we see the back?
    The bar says:

    iron cross 2nd class (1914)
    Mecklenburg Schwerin war cross
    Hamburg war cross
    Hindenburg cross with swords (combat vet WW1)
    KVK NO swords (civilian in WW2).

      Have you a picture of the reverse? The KVK2 should be after the EK2 ribbon....not at the very end.

          Someone has been messing with the tabs on the back...look at the massive scrape on the reverse!!

          Just because purchased from a "famous collector" doesnot make it an original.

                  since anyone can move ribbons on bar it seems no problem for me.

                    well iv many ribbon bars and you can see if they have messed with and i reckon from these pics that the tabs have been moved and that would mean as such this is a messed with ribbon bar if not a made up bar!

                      Depends- it was a common error to put "noncombat" or civillian awards AFTER combat awards. There were even editorial debates in newspapers during the TR about this (yeah-they cared THAT much about "ordnung" and medals).
                      There are LOTs of contemporary TR photos showing this error.

                      The image shack photos of the back aren't exactly crisp and sharp. The back looks pristine.

                      No offense, but the only "famous collectors" I'd trust blindly on this one from would be the Ricks or the Gordons.
