That enamel ribbon bar is fascinating Andreas, I've never come across any German award ribbons represented as such. A rare piece, thank you for posting it.

Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Wonderful

"In all my years as a soldier, I have never seen men fight so hard." - SS Obergruppenfuhrer Wilhelm Bittrich - Arnhem
Another recent purchase, somewhat more robust than the last one...: A Kriegsteilnehmer cross made into a paperweight by affixing it to a square piece of black marble.
(Personally, I think this was done in the period, but I cannot completely rule out that somebody got creative post-war. I like it anyway):
That's an interesting and unusual addition to your collection of Ehrenkreuz! I like it alot and it certainly has the look of a period made piece.

Very nice, Andreas.
I like these period paperweights.
Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
That cross in marble is a great piece!
Here are two rather neat examples for combinations of 15 mm miniatures for civilian wear.
The first is a Prussian non-combatant's ribbon bar with attached miniature pendants representing, from left to right: the Rote-Kreuz-Medaille III. Klasse, the Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe and the Kriegsteilnehmer cross.
Typically worn with formal dress, the second one is a medal chain (Ordenskettchen) for a Saxon combat veteran NCO. The medals are, from left to right, the Frontkämpfer cross, Friedrich-August-Medaille in Silber, Militär-St.-Heinrichs-Medaille in Silber and the 1914 EK2.
The last few weeks have been good... A few more ribbon bars, all done in the "Bavarian fold".
First, one example each for the Kriegsteilnehmer and the Frontkämpfer cross:
Second, two examples of the Kriegsteilnehmer cross in combination with a "Flower War Medal"; on top it's the Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 1. Oktober 1938 (the Sudetenland Anschluss), on bottom the Medaille zur Erinnerung an den 13. März 1938 (the Austrian Anschluss):
