    Help with Medal Bar Photo

    Can anyone tell if the guy in this photo is a doctor? He kind of looks like one, but I can't tell for sure. Thanks for any and all assistance.

    Best regards,
    Tom

    He is an administrative official (Beamter); notice the three-sided piping on his collar patches.

          You're right, but at the same time it's an ugly bar as well. It doesn't have but 9 medals and that thing is streched half way across the other side of his chest!! He must have been trying to impress someone!! Alex

            3. HKx
            4. Leuitpold Jubilee
            5. Wedding Commemorative
            6. Bav. LS
            7. unknown (Tyrol medal?)
            8. State LS cross
            9. Czech annexation?

              Hello,

              I think you got it right. I see: 1914 Iron Cross Second Class, Bavarian Military Merit Cross Second Class w/Swords, 1914-1918 Cross of Honor w/Swords, Prince Regent Luitpold Jubilee Medal, Bavarian Medal of the Royal Wedding, Bavarian Long Service Medal, Tyrolean Commemorative Medal, 25-Year Faithful Service Decoration, and the Czech Annexation Medal. Must have been an NCO in WWI.
              What do you find unusual about the bar?

              Best regards,
              Tom

                precendecial (sp?) order #s, 4-8, in 1939 still following the older Bavarian rules (see the cover of your book for example).

                Also the Tyrol medal.
