[George Stimson]

I think that the rifles are totally unrelated to the rest of the bar.

[waffendude]

So is the pin Allied or?
or german, just not related, I don't know anyhting about medal bar "regulations"

[Bernd Wiedemann]

Hi,
the rifles could be german from a shooting association (Schützenverein), but they are not related to this bar.
regards

sorry, I think the correct wors for Schützenverein is protecting association

I have a question for those that know.

Is the order on this bar correct?

I thought that the West Wall should be after the RAD medal.

ie. War Merit, RAD, West Wall

The RAD is a long service award which go at the end of the german awards on a bar.

The D.Sch.V (Deutsche Schützen Verein) badge down on the right on your photo would be attached to the small rifle bar. But this would not be fitted to the medalbar.

Here is mine.

The RAD is a long service award which go at the end of the german awards on a bar.

I have to disagree.

[J C Gray]

About your statement concerning the placement of long service awards.
