Description

Medal bar of a Württemberg fighter of the First World War with six awards. In first place a Prussian Iron Cross 2nd Class, 1914 issue, then a Württemberg silver Military Merit Medal, followed by a Front Combatant Cross of Honour, then an Austrian Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with war decoration. In fourth place is the ribbon for a Third Reich Cross of Honour for Loyal Service, with a Kyffhäuser medal incongruously inserted there, and finally the ribbon for a Schutzwall Badge of Honour, into which a black wounded badge is incongruously inserted. The Schutzwall badge of honour is enclosed loose. Very neatly sewn original ribbons, pin system intact. Untouched original condition, obviously adjusted by the wearer after the time of WW2. In addition three further, smaller order buckles, one of them to hang on for the awards, this one with the ribbon for the - later no longer worn - Württemberg service award.
