Did that medal bar come from Germany and was it attributed to a Generalmajor? I may have a picture of that one with all the awards and it looks pretty similar. Let me know what you know about it and if it's the one I know of, I'll pull out my archive and give you the lowdown. I do know what some of them are from the research done on the medal bar I need.

2. Saxe Ernestine House order K.C. w. swds.
3. Prussian Crown order.
4. Honor cross 1914-1918 (Hindenburg cross).
5. Prussian 25 year Long Service award?
6. Oldenburg Friedrich August cross 2nd. class.
7. Mecklenburg Schwerin war service cross 2nd. class.
8. Brunswick war merit cross 2nd. class.
9. Bavarian military merit order.
10. Saxon Order of Albert.
11. Mecklenburg Schwerin Order of the Griffon K.C.
12. (same as #2 w.o. swds.)?

Gentlemen, thanks for the information. This medal bar was just uncovered in Germany with a great many other historical items. The owner was a luftwaffe Colonel who served in WWI as well.
