Wehrmacht 18/4yr LS

[bytown]

Latest addition to my LS collection.

Not the longest bar but matches several others in my collection.

What is a little different about this one is that the eagle's head(4yr) is not what you would normally come across. IMHO anyway.

Could be a Navy bar but you can never tell for sure.

Enjoy.

Hi Wayne,

Very nice medal bar... Looks good... Interesting that this guy participated in wwi as a combat soldier but didn't get other medals...

Thank you, Scott

I have others in my collection of a similar nature.

One has the Hindy without swords.

Maybe this guy was an admin type riding a desk for 18 years.

What would be neat would be to find one that has a 25/12yr combo with a Hindy.

I think that would be extremely rare if it existed at all.

I thought I would add to this thread as I have found a mate to the 4yr LS on this bar.

This one is on a mounted pair 4/12yr combination.

Like I said not often found type in my experience.

Any comments on a possible maker?

Looking at it the head of the eagle reminds me of Juncker.

One interesting thing is that the backing is black on both mounts.

Nice bar Wayne!
I'm pretty new at this, what would indicate that it could be navy?

Hello Steve:

Some seem to think that black backing is navy.

Not necessarily true as you cannot tell for sure.

Kriegsmarine or not - a nice bar!
