Noor's Ribbon Bars Collection

[Noor]

I will try to post up more my bars coming weeks. Just haven't found time to make proper scans. But at least here is something for a beginning!

Fantastic Stuff Noor. Some nice rare devices there!! I will post my collection up too very soon.

[Noor]

Thanks Alan! I am looking forward to see some another bars around here as well!

Nice Bavarian junior officer PURE WW1 sew ribbon bar where EK2 is last. It's so pitty that most of the State bars had ruined by 1935 new regulations and because Hindi came out same time, most of the vets let they bar rearrange then.



Probably end of the war device... just a little pit lack of quality.

I'am glad to see that some of my fellow countryman's have some great collections. Unfortunately Estonia is too small to have a great collectors market and a serious collectors itself ( Just a my friend Leo Tammiksaar ). We'll keep promotion for our small country, which is fullfill with a history ! I'am wondered about your bar collection. Do you have some Estonian bars ( I'am about the first independance bars) I would like to see here. I like to see some of the rare Imperial Russian bars...
And as probably you know the forum made in Estonia.

Very interesting "home made" bar with the:
1. EK2
2. Lübeck Hanseatic Cross
3. Southwest Africa medal
4. Saxe-Altenburg Bravery Medal
5. Austrian Military Merit Cross/Medal
6. Lippe-Detmold Honor Cross
7. Turkish War Medal

Looks like a navy person but still interesting to see so many different state awards on enlisted man ribbon bar.

Hi Dimas. Thanks for your comments. I do not have any bars from Estonia in my small collection. Only Scandinavian bar is Finnish but it's picked up from Estonia like as well most of my Soviet bars (one fellow collector posted them to me).

Rest of them I hoovered together from collectors shows in Eire and online of course

1. EK2
2. Mecklenburg-Schwerin Military Merit Cross
3. Hamburg Hanseatic Cross

5. Red Eagle Order/General decoration
6. Crown Order
7. 1897 Centenary Medal
8. Long Service Award
9. Southwest Africa medal
10. Austrian Military Merit Order
11. Imperial Russia St.Anne award ribbon

A long service... Looks like a man who are being in service in Estonia got a different service in other countries too, but the 1914=18 and EK would give me some doubts about his service in Estonian army as well... Probably he was taken apart with Landeswehr?

[Noor]

No Dimas. He didn't had any service in Estonia. Just imperial Russian awards were awarded to germans before the WW1 because the royal family connections.

Here is one Kriegsmarine Petty officer or Deck officer bar with the:

1. EK2
2. Hindenburg Cross with Swords
3. Long Service award
4. Order of Red Eagle Order Medal
5. Crown Order Medal
