I'm not really very good reading bars but I would say that this was probably
a Bavaraian junior officer.
Here is my best GUESS--
1-Ek2
2-MVO4
3-Order of St. George
4-Prince Ruppert medal
5-Luitpold jubilee medal
6-Prussian Honor cross
7- Bavarian long service medal
8-Bavarian Freestate regimental jubilee medal
9-Prussian RAO4 or Prussian General honor medal

Hi Chopperman , thank you for your reply.
What is a MV04, MKM4 and RA04?
I think he was Bavarian, he actually made Obergruppenfurher before 1942. So he was an important person.
MVO4--Militar-VerdienstOrden 4 klasse (Military merit order- 4th class)
MVK4--Militar-Verdienstkreuz 4 klasse (Military merit cross- 4th class)
RAO4--Rote Adler Orden 4 klasse (Red Eagle order- 4th class)

Good guess. I was thinking same, but that third and seventh are mystery for me... the third is MVK4? i dont know..
Hi Timpe, yes I down loaded "Medal Bars of WW1" and never found these either, so its somewhat of a mystery hence my posting.
Thank you for you're reply.
I found #3 (with the help of someone on another forum)
it is the Order of St. George. (something I had never heard of)

#4 is probably the Prince Ruppert medal.
The bar would have belonged to an elder NCO.
