This is a very unusual combination for a medal bar. It has two places. From left to right we see the following:
*Red Eagle Order 4th Class. This is the final pattern of the Red Eagle, which was offered from 1879-1918. The pattern is easily identified by its pebbled arms. The 4th Class, while the same size as the 3rd Class, has silver arms. The 3rd Class Red Eagle is the first class to exhibit enameled arms. The enamel center is in excellent condition with no visible cracks. 4th Class Red Eagle’s hallmarks typically appear on the 6 o’clock arm’s edge. The example does not exhibit a manufacturer’s hallmark. The cross is clearly made of silver.
*War Service Cross.
The 4th Class Red Eagle was very often awarded to civilians from the middle or upper classes. This is a fine medal bar.

This is a two-place Frack Bar. A Frack Bar differs from a military medal bar in that it was worn on a civilian suit and was angled rather than horizontal. Frack Bars are much rarer than conventional military medal bars. Its medals are listed below from left to right.
1). War Service Medal. This decoration was given for service during WWI. For the most part it was given to civilians on the home front for service to the Reich. On the obverse it says “Für Kriegs Hilfsdienst.” On the reverse we see Kaiser Wilhelm II’s royal cypher.
2). Hindenburg Cross for Non Combatants. When Adolf Hitler authorized the Hindenburg Cross in 1934 after Reichspräsident (and former Generalfeldmarschall) Paul von Hindenburg’s death, it came in three types: Combatants, Non Combatants (offered here), and Next-of-Kin (a.k.a. the “Widow’s Cross”). Our Non Combatants Cross does not have the swords extending through its center as does the Combatants.
The two medals’ ribbons are in fine condition. The Frack Bar’s reverse sports a white backing, with a fine pin for securing it to a garment. Minor moth nipping traces appear on the white backing.

This is a very clean two-place medal bar. On the left we see a Friedrich August Medal in gold. [This was the Kingdom of Saxony’s Iron Cross equivalent. On the right is a 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class from Prussia. The medal bar was the property of a Saxon soldier. We can tell this because Saxony’s Friedrich August Medal takes the superior position on the medal bar’s left.
The decorations and ribbons are in excellent condition, and thus the medal bar also is in excellent condition. It sports a light-blue felt backing on its reverse.
