Medal Bar on estand

[Tom Yanacek]

Here is a 1939 War Merit Medal that is assembled in the exact same manner as the two-placer that started this thread. This is (in my opinion) a legitimate assembly of the Third Reich Period and is definitely not the work of the infamous "Austrian" medal bar forger.

Best regards,
Tom

Medal Bar

Hello,
I am late, but I also have no issue with this bar. I had a similar medal bar years ago, it had an Anschluss Medal and a 4 year Heer/KM Long Service.

Mistakes like this were common.

Thank you, Pierce.

Almost 5 million War Merit Medals were awarded yet how often are they found on a medal bar?

Best regards,

It's a good bar, 100% original IMO. If the price was lower I'd add it to my collection in a minute.

I just bought a similar bar at a gun show for $60.

Thank you,
Mike

I agree with others, just a non regulation order of medals, but OK bar. You asked about if they shouldnt be reversed
