Here one more Imperial item I got recently . This Officer's Bavarian Ribbon Bar by a friend of mine ID to a " Korpsstabsveterinaer " of Lieutnant Colonel rank has the following 5 decorations :1905 Luitpold Military Jubilee Medal ; 1870 Noncombatant 1870-71 War Medal for Frontline non-arms bearer like medical ;1866 Bavarian War Cross ; Bavarian Long Service medal for surely XXIV for Officers ; and 1897 Centenary Medal of Kaiser Wilhelm I for being a 1870 war veteran . The interesting part is that this dress bar is only 3-inches wide and 7/8 -inches high , has a red wool backing and has 5 long brass hooks on the backside to hang the medals . Per my friend :"Veterans from the 1866 and 1870's wars still alive in 1905 would receive the Luitpold Jubilee Medal only if they had received other high decorations , so this is absolutely an Officer's bar ".

Bernd,

Nope, I like it! Big Grin

Now, I will mention that I am looking for a Bavarian ribbon bar (just the South German folded ribbon bar with no provision for the medals) for a Polizei Major uniform. This fellow had a long bar with 5" loops so I am probably looking for a 6" ribbon bar. Let me know if you see a long one for sale that you don't need.

I will take all the help I can get as you know. Wink

George
