I got this mixed -up medal bar at a gun show . It is from right to left , which would be correct for wear on the lapel of a veteran's dress coat .
Can someone please tell me what the last 2 Bavarian medals should be ?
Thanks , Bernd

Not positive,
3rd. position a Bavarian long service award.
4th position Bavarian Military merit cross not sure which class. Possibly 3rd. class.


I wonder why someone switched everything around? Even the EKII's. Could be that's not meant to be an EKII ribbon.

Thanks for your advise >
I think someone just fooled around with this bar , thinking somehow that the Iron
Cross for WWII was 'higher ' in his mind than the Iron Cross for WWI , he switch them around. --OR , someone just wanted to place his WWII medals on a ribbon bar to make them look more impressive , very well knowing that the ribbons were not correct any more !

Well, I checked the bar a little more and found that the rings of the medals are sewn onto the back-up ribbons with different color threads to match the ribbon colors !
I thought first that there would be hooks and an exchange of medals would be easy ! Not so !!
