Medal bar for opinion

[andrei1774]

Hi,
I received this medal bar recently and would like to get your opinion on it.
Both LS medals are magnetic. Interesting that soldier served at least 12 years and wasn't awarded Iron cross
Thanks in advance,
Andrei

Hi Andrei,

A very nice original medal bar. Some staining on the ribbons but nothing to worry about.

Not everyone got the EK2, regardless of years of service!

Kind regards

Agreed. A nice original bar.

I have 12yr/4yr combinations in my collection that are mounted with the
Hindenburg cross and nothing else.

I agree with Pierce and Wayne, a very nice original medal bar!

Remember that the Long Service medals were suspended on spring/summer of 1940, and a lot of recipients of these medals were in armed forces since the WWI or the Weimar era.

He might have got an EK later on and then made a new medal bar so this might be his old one...

What ribbon is the green one that is hiding under the KVK2? Is it a Ostvolk or an old ww1-ribbon?

Thanks guys for your opinions. Bar is going to my collection.
To VonPeter : You have a sharp eye. I didn't see under ribbon, till you mentioned this. Not sure and how it can be, but the ribbon under is 3 equal strips red -green -red. I can make only this picture.

Hi Andrei,

A very nice medal bar.

[VonPeter]

Its always nice to get a bonus ribbon.
The only match i could find is the Anhalt Hausorden Albrecht des Bären but the green is a little thiker then the red stripes.
