Prussian red cross medals, original...... Bronze third class (1898-1917) and twenty year long service medal, but swop them around as they are on the wrong ribbons.
Prost ! Steve.

Indeed - Steve is correct on the ID, and that they
need to be switched around.

The cross and blue/white ribbon is unusual - I'd
not seen it before, and so in searching found
the Bavarian 20 Jahre Dienstzeit cross is
not that common.........

Thanks guys!

[GeneralPutnam]

by not common , should i be concerned about this authenticity wise?

[Walkwolf]

No worries, it's good.........
