My Kaiserreich ribbon bar collection
Hello Sirs.
I would like to share with you all my collection of ribbon bars from imperial Germany. I have almost a hundred and today I want to show you some photos of that part of my showcase. I hope you like them. In a few weeks I will begin my vacation and I hope to gradually upload detailed images of all of them.
My intention is to do it in alphabetical order of the different German states (Anhalt, Baden, Bayern, Braunschweig, Bremen .......). Sorry for my English, which I know is not too good.

Hello jamie7d7.
All ribbon bars in my Kaiserreich collection are two, three or four ribbons. The two ribbons are all with EK2 or Hindenburg Kreuz ribbon and a ribbon of the award from a German state. The three ribbons are almost all with EK2 on the left, German state ribbon in the center and Hindemburg kreuz on the right, whit some exceptions to this configuration.
The four ribbons are almost always with the previous three but with the 1939 KKV2 with swords, that is to say that they are military veterans of the Great War, but that they served later in the front during World War II. They used to belong to doctors, surgeons, veterinarians or other types of officers.
Best regards.

Some ribbon bars of two medals
First of all a clarification of terminology:
To name the 2nd Class Iron Cross of 1914, (Eisernes Kreuz, II Klasse, 1914) I will write: EK2.1914.
To name the Cross of Honor for combatants, (Ehren Kreuz für Frontkampfer 1914-1918, also called Hindenburg Kreuz) I will write: EFK.
