This is a beautiful First World War Imperial Bavarian 6 place medal bar that is contained in a nice brown box of issue. The ribbon bar consists of the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class, a Bavarian War Merit Cross 1st Class with swords, a Bavarian War Service Cross 2nd Class, a 1914-18 Hindenburg combatant’s Cross of Honor with swords, an Hanseatic War Merit Cross and an Austrian War Merit Medal with swords. All the ribbons are beautifully double folded with a twist in the Bavarian style and are bright, crisp and without damage or staining. It has a hand sewn black canvas backing and is complete with its original long pin assembly. The ribbon bar comes in a simulated brown marble cardboard box of typical German manufacturer and has a gold leaf border running around the top of the box. The bar rests on a bed of very old, yellowed cotton. There is old brown tissue paper in the underside of the top lid. This is undoubtedly the manufacture’s original box that the bar came in and very seldom seen still united with the original ribbon bar. Overall condition of both pieces is excellent.(#1822)
