    HELP! Imperial Medal Bar ID, Bitte!

    Hello, All -

    Would someone wiser than me please tell me what the missing medal would be on this bar - I know the "Pro Deo..." Horthy medal is on the wrong ribbon, so I am looking for the identity of the blue and white ribbon's medal...

    Thank you!

    Hi Don,

    The missing medal is a Bavarian long service medal for EM/NCO, see the ribbon in the middle (white, blue). The Big medal in the middle, a Hungarian WWI commemorative medal often worn by German WWI war veterans, should be worn on the 3rd from left ribbon on this bar. Since medals are easely switchable due to the practical but simple (mostly used by EM/NCOs) medal bar system with hooks on the reverse, it is possible that the Bavarian LS medal was lost and the Hungarian commemorative medal wrongly placed in the middle.

    Ciao,

    Claudio

      Thanks, Claudio!


      If anyone can post a scan of the missing medal, I would appreciate it - I will have to hunt one down...

        Like the Prussians, the Bavarians had SIX crosses and medals that could be worn on that ribbon...

        so it comes down to what you'd like to put on there-- an IX, a XII etc etc.

        There are scans in the Imperial Forum that will come up on a search for "Bavarian long service"

            Don,

            Another thing... the front (obverse) of the Hungarian WWI commemorative medal is the side where the Hungarian coats of arm is shown and the reverse (back) is where there is the script "pro deo et patria" which literally means for god and country.

            Ciao,

            Claudio
