    Medal Bar help needed

    Hi Guys

    I found the following medal bar for sale and would appreciate some help to determine whether it is a WW2 period piece or post war put together. The list of medals as per the seller is as follows-

    WW II IRON CROSS 2nd CLASS
    WW I FREDRICK AUGUST CROSS 2nd CLASS FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE TO THE DUCHY OF OLDENBERG
    ERNST LUDWIG GROSSHERZOG WAR SERVICE AWARD HESSEN DARMSTADT
    WW I CROSS OF HONOUR
    WW II WAR MERIT CROSS 2nd CLASS
    RUSSIAN WINTER CAMPAIGN
    OLYMPIC SERVICE AWARD MILITARY SERVICE AT THE 1936 OLYMPICS
    ANSCHLUSS 13th MARCH 1938 GERMAN OCCUPATION OF AUSTRIA
    WW I AUSTRIAN WAR MEDAL WITH SWORDS COMMEMORATIVE AWARD FOR COMBATENTS ISSUED 1932
    WW I HUNGARIAN WAR MEDAL DEFENCE OF THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY

    Since medals are not my collecting focus some help would be appreciated and all comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

    The bar has a combination of first war, second war and 57 issue medals.

    I would think that it was post war assembled.

    Unless some of the medals were swapped out & replaced by those issued in 57.

    The Olympic medal, the Russian front are both 57 issue.

      I agree, also the 13th March ribbon looks to be a modern repro Eagle Order ribbon.

        Also, the FA2 Oldenburg cross also has an incorrect color.

          That Oldenburg cross was the first that caught my eye.
          Then the Russian front medal.
          To bad, it would be a neat bar to have.
