GERMANY – FRACK BAR – TWO PLACE
SKU: 02-399$150.00
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.

WÜRTTEMBERG – MEDAL BAR – FOUR PLACE
SKU: 02-317$1,295.00
This is a four-place medal bar. From left to right are the
*1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class.
*Friedrich Order Knight’s Cross 1st Class with Swords – Württemberg. It is a fine example, with only a little scuffing on its enamel arms. This is a very high level award and is more frequently seen in the 2nd Class than the 1st Class. I actually thought this was a 2nd Class until corrected by a sharp eyed reader.
*Hindenburg Cross for Combatants with Swords.
*Landwehr Reserve Long Service Award – Württemberg.
This is a fetching medal bar. Both the decorations and the ribbons are in fine condition.

SAXE-COBURG-GOTHA – MEDAL BAR – TWO PLACE
SKU: 02-322$595.00
This is a very interesting two-place medal bar from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It has an unusual decoration combination, one of which requires a special interest and appreciation. From left to right we see these medals:
*Long Service Award 2nd Class – Twelve Years Service. Three levels exist for enlisted men and NCO’s Long Service Awards. The 1st Class is for fifteen years and is cross-shaped. The circular 2nd Class is for twelve years and is gilt. The 3rd Class is also circular and silver-toned. Each one has the Saxon Coat-of-Arms on the obverse. On the reverse, each sports its numbers of years in Roman numerals. This medal is indeed gold-toned and displays “XII” on the reverse. The green ribbon is for Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
*Silver Herzog Carl Eduard Service Medal. The silver medal from this Duchy was the 2ndClass award as there was a Gold level of this award. It was awarded both before and during WW I. During WW I it was awarded with swords and/or clasps for the various years of WW I. The magenta and green ribbon again indicates Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
It is a fine medal bar. The unusual part about it is the Twelve-Year Long Service award. While not always the case, the twelve-year award usually was for police officers and officials, not for the military. The military award was typically for either nine or fifteen years. It is possible that this award was awarded to a military NCO. It is just another detail for appreciative speculation. Both medals and their ribbons are in very fine condition. The horizontal pin is in place.
