I do not have any background information on this item. The frame has issues, as it is missing one side. The backing is coming loose and is torn.

Wonderful three-place medal bar that dates to the early Weimar/Freikorps period! He had likely been a veteran of one of Prussia’s conflicts prior to 1914, and then served on the home front during World War I, and was later active in the Friekorps. The medals featured here are from left to right: Ludwig Cross, German Legion of Honor, and the Franz Josef Jubilee Commemoration of the Armed Forces Medal. The Ludwig Cross is the blackened zinc variety, indicating late war manufacture. Overall, a very nice medal bar that displays well! The medal bar remains in very good condition, showing signs of age, use, and wear. Original felt backing present, as well as functioning pin. Please see the pictures for more detail. Guaranteed 100% authentic in every respect for life. Be sure to see our other listings for more historical antiques and militaria. Be sure to follow our store as new inventory is added daily.

Later in the war the cross was also issued in bronze and blackened zinc. The German Legion of Honor was a veterans commemorative award of the Weimar Republic. The award was created in the 1920s under the authority of a “High Council of German Honor” composed of former German veterans, many of whom had served as high-ranking officers or even as generals during World War I. The award was presented apparently for civic accomplishments in peacetime by former veterans, with the criteria including the requirement that the recipient be an “excellent comrade and friend worthy of honor”. The High Council of German Honor was also connected extensively with the Freikorps movement and frequently awarded the decoration as a paramilitary award.
