Original era manufacture. A nice old bar to a well decorated veteran of both the Franco-Prussian War 1870-71, and Austro-Prussian War of 1866.The medals include and 1870 Iron Cross 2nd class, 1870-71 Campaign Medal, 1866 Campaign Medal, 20 Year Prussian Long Service Medal, and Hohenzollern Centennial Medal.All are suspended from a 19th century large frame ribbon bar with a very long attaching pin, and original period ribbon. Condition overallis normal age and wear, with the mounting pin pivot hinge needing to be re-soldered to the backof the ribbon bar. I have several of these in the collection otherwise I'd be tempted with this one.
