KM Medal Bar with Order of Mehdi

[Gary B]

I pulled this one out of the safe today and thought I would photograph it. This group belonged to a member of the cruiser Leipzig. The last award is the Moroccan Order of Mehdi. Note the ribbon bar utilizes the Eastern People's award ribbon for the Order of Mehdi ribbon. I assume the tailor who assembled the ribbon bar did not have the correct ribbon so used something as close as possible to the needed ribbon.

During the Spanish Civil War the cruiser had some type of involvement in Morroco.

Wonderful grouping! Is the long service metal just worn or is it in zinc? Thank you for sharing these photos.
