SAXONY – RIBBON BAR – THREE PLACE – OFFICERS

SKU: 02-365

$65.00

This is an officer’s-level ribbon bar with three places on it. The bar measures 3/4″ x 1 3/4.” From left to right, the following medals appear on the bar.

*1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class.

*Hindenburg Cross with Swords for Combatants.

*Saxe-Ernestine Knight’s Cross 1st or 2nd Class with Swords. This was awarded by one of the smaller Saxon Duchies. The ribbon is magenta, with two narrow green stripes. A pair of crossed gilt swords is attached to it.

This is a rather unusual combination. It is definitely an officer’s-level, as the Knight’s Cross was an officers-only decoration. The ribbon bar is in excellent condition.

  • 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.

  • PRUSSIA – MEDAL BAR – TWO PLACE – ORDER OF RED EAGLE 4th CLASS AND CROWN ORDER 4th CLASS WITH FIFTY-YEARS LONG-SERVICE BUTTON

    SKU: 02-387

    $995.00

    This is a most unusual medal bar combination of the two medals listed below.

    *Order of the Red Eagle 4th Class – Prussia. The Red Eagle’s hand-painted center is in flawless condition. The decoration is not hallmarked for a maker.

    *Crown Order 4th Class with the Fifty Years Long-Service Button-Prussia. The decoration is in first-class condition. Its blue/gold enameled center is flawless. The fifty-year button is mounted on the decoration’s jump ring. The six o’clock arm’s edge reveals a “W” hallmark for one of the House of Hohenzollern’s premiere house jewelers.

    It is a superb medal bar. Both the medals and their ribbons are crisp and clean. The bar was probably awarded to a civilian, who was most-likely in his seventies when he wore it.
