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.

I am severly lacking in Imperial knowledge of the class of certain awards but will give a shot at it.
Subject to review.
1. EKII 1914-1918.
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.)?
13. Austro/Hungarian Military merit cross.
14. Bulgarian order of military merit.
15. Kingdom of Italy Order of the Italian crown.

Correct any errors folks.

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.

Vic,

Seems you've had a productive trip abroad, nice find
